Cheat

The author of “The Shadow Scholar: How I Made a Living Helping College Kids Cheat,” Dave Tomar, demonstrates how cheating can follow a student to a professional, and how these cheaters are leading the academic world because of the pressures of exam-based learning. In his article, "How I Helped Teachers Cheat" he explains how form 2001-2010 he helped teachers cheat because they were under the pressure of helping their students pass the proficiency exam, or they were students who needed to pass rather than learn. He was a ghostwriter. He knew what he was doing, yet continued being a ghostwriter for almost a decade. Although he blames the system rather than the people, he shows that the current system of exam-based learning is not increasing success but it is increasing the cheating rates. He also shows how cheating as a student continues through life and although that person becomes successful and decides to become an teacher , do you really want that person as a teacher?
