Cheating in a class is very unethical. But there is a very controversial topic about rightful punishment for these wrong doings. Schools tend to have a zero tolerance policy for cheating. “There is the possibility this will cause permanent harm. What university will it keep him out of? Will that have far-ranging consequences in what kind of job he can get?” (Berghouse). The students father is very worried about how this could look in the future. He believes that getting kicked out of a class for cheating was harsh and could affect his sons options in the future.
I believe the students should receive a harsh punishment for cheating. Nothing bugs me more when people ask me for answers to homework or a test. Not because they aren't my friends or I don't like them. Its because I'm not going to let someone else use me to take the easy way out for their lack of work and effort. I am positive most people feel the same way. For those reasons I do think that cheating should result in a harsh punishment for students.
I disagree with you because a harsh punishment such as corproal punishment can result in violent behavior. This will lead to more fights in the school and just more problems in general.
