If a father is able to get one over the "system" by some cunning trick, he boasts of it among his family members. Parents even connive with a child by telling the teacher that the child was sick during an exam day, when in fact he was just plain lazy in studying for his exams.
A key to solving cheating --and thus corruption -- is for everyone to understand its evil.
To easily remember the reasons why cheating is evil, here is a mnemonic device which I show to my class in one powerpoint slide:
U – Unfair to others (who worked)
B – Break trust (classmates won’t trust you)
D – Disobey God (7th; not to steal; 8th: not to bear false witness)
E – Egoistic self-interest (weaken companionship)
V – Victimizes self and others
I - Injustice (order of justice is disturbed)
L – Lie (show what you aren’t)
S – Steal (take what isn’t yours)
The devil is the father of lies, said Jesus.
