Market Dynamics
Cheating to obtain a high school diploma undermines the integrity of the education system, devaluing genuine credentials and creating an unfair advantage for dishonest individuals. It also perpetuates a cycle of dishonesty and unethical behavior, eroding trust in institutions and society as a whole.
Financial Implications
The cost of cheating extends beyond the potential for fines or legal action. It also includes the loss of economic opportunities for those who are denied fair access to education and employment due to the devaluation of diplomas. Furthermore, it strains public education budgets by diverting resources away from legitimate educational programs and towards anti-cheating measures.
