Recommended: The debate on the honor code

If you needed help on an assignment you would ask for help right? Well if Fairmont Heights was to establish an honor code you would no longer be able to ask a classmate for help. This is why Fairmont shouldn’t establish an honor code. Honor codes are placed to make severe consequences for cheating. The honor code also states that if you see a fellow classmate cheating your suppose to tell the professor or your not obeying the honor code. When I say cheating I mean as in asking someone for help when you don’t understand, getting someone to revise an essay and more. If Fairmont was to establish an honor code kids will continue to cheat, kids will not snitch on one another and finally they won’t obed by the rules because they have no interest

I responded to 106 Wildridge Road in reference to a civil complaint. Upon arrival, I spoke with Mark and Anna Sanders. Both subjects advised that they paid David Sasser $350.00 dollars to build their son a bunk bed. They advised that Sasser told them that he spent all the money and didn’t buy any supplies. Mark then agreed that he would take Sasser to get the wood that he need, and pay for it.

Suzanne was an unmarried, domestic servant when committed to Royal Park Receiving House, Melbourne, in 1929, following the birth of her illegitimate baby six weeks before. Her doctor described Suzanne’s symptoms as: ‘delusional– receiving messages from spirits – and thought people are going to cut her up.’ ‘She has a depressed affect, is mildly resistive, speaks with apparent reluctance and in low tone.’ Following her transfer to Mont Park, the medical officer Dr John Catarinich noted that Suzanne suffered from puerperal insanity, syphilis and pyelitis an inflammation of the bladder. He prescribed mercury as well as ultraviolet ray treatment, known as the ‘rays’, at Mont Park.

I believe I would be a good fit for the Fairmont Police Department because I have spent the last 3 years working for the City of Caledonia, which is a town of 3,000 people. I believe Fairmont could good a good natural transition into a bigger department with more possibilities. Fairmont offers a wide demographic between its local schools, Higher education campuses, and its successful/thriving employer’s e.g. Mayo Clinic Health Systems, Avery Weight-Tronix, REM, and many more. Fairmont is known as the City of Lakes. This intrigues me on a professional and personal level.

The Hamptons, commonly known as the rich and elite’s summer getaway. Most just associate this part of eastern Long Island with its prestige of summer vacationers, but really this area includes year-long inhabiters that are more regular joes than famous actors and actresses. Those who live here year-long are middle-class families just trying to get by like everywhere else across the country. I personally grew up in small town right outside the Hamptons, named East Moriches, and have lived there since I was one years old. I was brought up in a middle-class family, just like all of my neighbors, living a normal everyday life.

Fairmont Heights has had a long history filled with many questionable decisions and people making those decisions. An honor code is put into place to better build the integrity of people and the school they attend. And by making Fairmont Heights have an honor code would be the biggest waste of time the school would ever think of doing. Honor codes belong at already established schools that are better than Fairmont and will always be. The main reason an honor code would be foolish to instill in the minds of the student body would be due to the fact that Fairmont Height students have about as much integrity as Benedict Arnold.

Windham High School should establish an honor code. There is an abundance of cheating, stealing, and plagiarizing that happens here and not many get punished for it. Although, if WHS did establish and honor code I don’t believe it would work. Too many of the students here rely on cheating. More students than not cheat so, I don’t believe many students would report others cheating.

There are several sentences in my essay on the Martins and Wilson’s paper that would be considered Honor Code Violations. In the Vanderbilt University Honor Code the part of The Honor Applied to Preparation of Papers it says “Failure to indicate any outside source of ideas, expressions, phrases, or sentences constitutes plagiarism” and then the Honor Code gives some samples of violation that can be applied to my case. In the fourth case the “word-for-word copying”, the sample in which the student write exactly the same words as the original author without quoting them and this act is considered plagiarism.

Cheating, plagiarizing, and taking credit for another’s work is usually frowned upon, but the honor code was created to prevent these acts from occurring. Honor codes are different from school to school and are commonly not followed. The honor system was created to convey that when you lie about accomplishing something yourself, you will be penalized for it. Honor code systems should be revised because of the lack of student involvement, the lack of confidentiality, and the burdensome consequences. To begin with, student involvement plays a huge role on campuses.

With an honor code you’re forced to tell the truth at all times or your enrollment will be suspended or terminated. You can’t offer or ask for help for school work within the school’s codes. Students will lie continuously to keep others from getting thrown under the bus and blame others who were innocent. Honor systems are for schools that lack trust and security of education in their school. I feel as though Fairmont Heights is perfectly fine without one and it should continue to stay like that.

An honor code can be so effective that “many schools with academic honor codes allow students to take their exams without proctors present, relying on peer monitoring to control cheating” (Source F). Despite this system, there is research that “indicates that the significantly lower levels cheating” (Source F) at schools with honor codes. This is possible because there is a peer culture that denounces cheating, making kids embarrassed to commit academic dishonesty. Such a peer culture was formed by educating the students about the value of academic dishonesty.

The Oral Roberts Honor Code can be summarized as a set of rules that we as Christians should follow strictly. It tells us what is right and what is wrong in a Christian standpoint. The purpose of the honor code is for us students to sign off on a set of rules, and as a Christian or as a human being when you sign a document you must stay true to your word and follow what is on that document. It also sets a standard that ORU students need to act out, therefore setting us apart, putting ourselves on a different level than public universities.

That aside not every student will take a pledge and feel obligated to stop cheating or to be completely honesty. This could be the flaw in the honor code, stating that the students take a pledge to not use plagiarism or cheat which means that not every student will have the integrity to not cheat when he/ she didn’t study for a test and has the integrity to be honest to the educator that they have

“Since “everyone else” is cheating, they have no choice but to do the same to remain competitive. And there is growing evidence many students take these habits with them to college.” (McCabe, Donald and Pavela). More and more colleges are using the honor codes. The honor code has helped to prevent cheating.

If we don’t encourage students to try their best and not to cheat, then we will have no future scientists, engineers, doctors or any jobs that could make the world be a better place. As expressed, cheating is not helping students learn at all and parents need to step up and encourage them to do the best they can- no matter
