The article "Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exception" by Richard Perez-Pena is about top students at ivy league that may have cheated their way to the top. it talk's about the presser students might be under to cause them to cheat. schools and parents are being blamed for not sending a strong message against cheating. students often copy other students work instead of doing their own, also when writing a paper or doing a project they often plagiarize from a previous students work. i think the fact high level students are found cheating is because the presser has become more and more for them so they resort to cheating hoping it would take off some of the presser. some student might look at a graded piece of work that got a good grade and copy hoping to get a good grade and bring up their grade level if they have a low grade level. in my experience cheating often occurs in the form of student copying work from other student. it didn't really matter if the students were smart or not after, siting in class all day and getting no work done the only thing left to do is copy. this article makes about how the students feel after they cheat knowing that they can get in serious trouble cheating possible get expelled from school.
Good post but a little short. Summary could be a bit broader. Good organization. Remember to capitalize your "I"s. 90
