Worse than the (49) grade may be the feeling of having disappointed those people, (50) parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an (51) person and a teacher might watch you more (52) the next time you’re taking a test.There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn’t cheat, but some students have already cheated.
