Students are kicked out of schools for plagiarizing papers and cheating on exams. While wrong, it is more work for teachers to get parents and administration involved than to just ignore it. Are teachers overreacting about cheating?

| Teachers are overworked as it is. They prepare lessons before class and stay after to grade papers. Adding appointments with parents and administrators in order to reprimand a student is another task to put on their plates. As the saying goes “you’re only cheating yourself.” | Not only will punishing a student scare other students out of cheating, but it will also teach the student a lesson.
