With some students that I have talked to the first question is What is my Grade? Not did I get all the educational learning from this class. This is where my experience helps in dealing with the Grade problem. I will tell them that yes grades are very important but knowing the subject or skill of the field your going into is also as or even more important to that individual or future employer. One can have a 4.00 GPA ( Gotten thru cheating which can take more effort than actual study ) and once on the job be unable to do the job. Above all a grade is a grade - it is what we do to ourselves by cheating that can destroy our reputation, honor and self-esteem. Transcrips after several years to an employer is not as important as an employee who is honest, hard working and can be relied apon to do the right thing is the ultimate of Value. I want to show the student that pressures form either themselves or outside forces must not affect how they feel when they look into a mirror.
