A play: What's cheating?
Setting : Two students standing in the school courtyard…
A ( checking some tiny papers _ of the kind usually used in cheating in exams_ and looking happy and satisfied.): Ah, now I’m ready for the exam. I just hope we have nice teachers to observe us!
B ( laughing): What if the teachers we have aren’t as nice as you hope?
A: Well, I don’t know. I guess I’ll try to copy
any way…
B: And what if they catch you cheating?
A: So what? What can they do?
They’ll just take the papers and go away… They never write a cheating report for anyone!
B: Yes, but how are you going to answer the exam
questions?
A: Don’t worry. I have a reserve!
B: Do you mean you’ve prepared two copies for
each lesson?
A: Three copies my dear!
B: Oh, I see. So, if they take the first, you’ll
use the second, and if they take the second you’ll use the third!
A: Yes, of course! This is what we call
perseverance.
B ( in a mocking tone): Yes, perseverance in
cheating! So funny!
A: Cheating ?! Who spoke about
cheating?
B: You!
A: No… What I spoke about isn’t called
cheating!
B: So, what is it called?
A: Mmmm… Intelligent preparation for the exam,
taking your rights, defending yourself, making your efforts to achieve success…
B: And what is cheating in exams for you?
A: Mmmm… I think there is no cheating in exams
on the part of students… The only cheating that exists is the one committed by
teachers, the Education Academy, and the Ministry.
B: How do teachers cheat in exams?
A: By their strict and unfair correction of exam
papers, by giving very bad marks to students, and by being nasty while watching
the students in exams.
B: And the academy?
A: They cheat by changing students marks and
results.
B: And how about the ministry? How does it
cheat?
A: The biggest cheating is setting difficult
exams!
B: I see, I see… You really have a strange way
of thinking and judging !!
A: I don’t believe it! At least you ask for
help from your friends from time to time...
B: No, I never do that.
A: Have you come from the planet Mars?
