Ok, ladies (and gentlemen, if we have any reading this), as promised, I'm back this week with reasons why students cheat in school—straight from their mouths. Here's what they said:
Middle School:
“Because I wanted to get good grades”
“Cause I didn’t know the answer."
“Test was hard."
“Because I need the grade in social studies."
“I didn’t study or didn’t know the answer”
“So I would get a good grade”
“I have before when it got really hard”
“Didn’t want to fail the test”
“Well I have cheated once or twice on a test. But I knew it was wrong and I felt bad about it afterwards”
“Wanted to make a good grade”
“Only science test, I didn’t study and a smart person was beside me – I still failed”
“Yes, cause the answers are on the teachers desk.”
High School:
“To get a better grade” (female)
“I forgot to study or was unsure of an answer” (female)
“I felt really pressured but wound up not being able to see the other person’s answers” (female)
“Because I didn’t want to fail my midterm that my teacher never gave me the study guide to - And yes I asked her.” (male)
“To get a better grade when I didn’t study” (female)
“Pressure to do well” (female)
No earth-shattering revelations there. However, I think it's important that cheating be discussed in your small groups with girls. (I've found that this topic comes up quite easily during the school year.) Some don't see cheating as an affront to personal holiness at all: everyone else is sharing answers and taking the easy way out, why shouldn't I? Help the girls you lead to understand the value of living with integrity.
The Awkward Prayer
Perhaps you've heard about this new trend making the rounds in small groups. I'm not sure of it's purpose (other than making everyone feel awkward), but I can't decide if I think it's hilarious or horrible. During an "awkward prayer," instead of grabbing each other's hands while they pray, girls grab each other's LOVE HANDLES. I can't imagine this fostering a sense of focus as a girl prays. (I'd be too busy wondering what the girl holding onto my side was thinking about my body to focus on what was being said during the prayer!) And I think it'd be uncomortable for anyone who doesn't like her body or is new to the group. However, I'm sure that within a tight-knit group, this could produce lots of laughs. But I don't know where this little tradition started or why. If you have any more information, please leave a comment and enlighten us all!
