text: Cheating on your school work is a horrible action. It shows that you weren't paying attention. Cheating is something easy to do while having online classes. If you're copying all work needed to be done, you truly don't learn the education you need to move forward with school. That's a major problem while being a student. A reason why students may cheat on online classes may be because they don't have a teacher to ask for help, unless you have the video conferencing school.
