it's one stage in learning how to solve problems. \nOne possibility to solve a problem is looking what somebody else does/thinks etc. Why do you ask questions here instead of sitting along in a room and think until you can come up with an answer?\nCollaboration can be a good thing, but as it can lead to rely on others to a huge extent, students have to learn how to solve problems by themselves and learn the theorectical background which will enable them to solve more complicated problems in the future. \nTo check that they are doing that,  they are put in asituation (exam) where collaboration is not permitted and consequentially labelled as cheating. I guess it takes some learning when collaboration is appropriate and when not, after all cheating is a possible solution to the problem: I rather played yesterday instead doing my homework, now I have to solve the problem how to come up with an answer to a question I don't have any clue about.

Well, very few kids are being left behind, in theory it appears to be working. That said, the quality of education that everyone is getting has been greatly reduced.  So, no one is left behind, but now they are all dumber than before.  Teachers have to only teach the TEST now, otherwise the school fails the tests and they say its because the teachers are bad.  So, learing has been reduced to what is on a standardized test to make test scores look good.  Teachers hate it, it hampers their ability to teach.

They may be new to you, but I remember seeing such exams when I was in college many years ago.  Such exams are very quick for the teacher to grade, since all the teacher need do is feed them to a special machine attached to the computer.  It is also assumed the machine grades more accurately than a human would, does not get tired, sick, lose track of things, or get bored.  And it makes a permanent record.\nOne big disadvantage is they don't make subtle answers easy.

the school system itself is bad. they hate it when you make mistakes and they do not allow you to ask your friends for help during test.

This happens more that you would suspect, but it doesn't excuse the action.  With the technology available today, Administrators and educators aren't having such a hard time catching the cheaters, regardless of circumstance.  My advice to you, as someone who used to be an educator, would be for your girlfriend to be contrite, apologize in full, saying that there was no excuse for her actions.  Put simply, she just made a mistake.  The, "I had a lot of projects due" scenario, although it may be very true, does not hold a lot of water, and makes her sound as if she is trying to justify her actions.  All students have a lot of projects due at once.  You know this.  Again, be honest, be contrite, and promise that it will never happen again.  Any administrator will take that for what it is, but advise your girlfriend that EVERYTHING she writes for the remainder of her course will be scrutinized...seriously.  Best of luck to you.  Just a bump in the road...hope you get over it well.  Regards, C.

The easiest and most accepted way to cheat is to study.  You'll get a higher grade and you won't get in trouble.

It is supposed to be a two-way street.  However, the teachers have begun to place more on the students so that the students and their parents are more responsible for their education.  Too often the students are just sitting in classes, not even paying attention to the teacher, and then cramming the night before a test and passing by the skin of their teeth.  Placing more responsibility on the student makes it more difficult for students to do this, thus EARNING their grade.

Come on, cheating is cheating! You know, that thing you do that goes against the rules. For example,  if your girl says, "You can't kiss other girls, D." Then you gotta respect that, otherwise, it's cheating. Why do people cheat? Sheer laziness(when it comes to tests),boredom(when it comes to relationships), and a God-complex(when it comes to games)
