Multiple choice

Why stop students from cheating? For most of the students, cheating is just another part of their studies, which is not taught by the teachers, but which they learn by themselves. This view of children towards education is very bad and needs to be changed. The parents and the teachers should make it a point to discuss the ill effects of this practice with children. They should know that if cheating was promoted, no individuality or progress would have taken place. How would have new inventions and technologies been developed? Therefore, in order to make a successful long term career, children should refrain from cheating.
