All the parents who think it is smart to help your child cheat

Dear parents,

Do you even realise how much of a temporary delight you give to all the exhausted teachers in the world, by helping your child cheat during an online assessment? Because, no questions during exams from the students side, no complaints on not understanding a question, and no confusion for the child, and it just means peace to the teacher. We would love you for that. But, do you also realise that you are putting your child's future at stake when you help your child to cheat? You encourage the child to dismiss the importance of integrity, which is going to cost too much for him/her in the future? Because you see, questions directed to the teacher teaches them to be independent, and when the child learns to do things all by himself/herself, the child also learns to face failures in life and also get over it. A child who does his/her exam all by himself/herself also understands that one cannot escape failures in life at some point, but the actual success is getting over the failure and reaching out to the top. When you help your child to cheat, you discourage the child to face the world, you give him/her very low self-esteem, and the child will be made to feel incompetent to do anything potential in life. They will come looking for your help even for the littlest of the deed, and that will be the day you'll regret what you did to them. I understand that the children need help with the technology, and I am not blaming the parents who help the child with the technological stuff, but I don't understand the part where parents do the exam itself for the child. Dear parents, as a teacher, even I would want my student to get a 100 on 100, but only with his/her skill, and when he/she can't do that, I still am proud of him/her because he/she tried. He/She has put in his/her own effort and that is absolutely appreciable, and I am proud of him/her even if it is an 80 on 100. Please parents, let us do our work by teaching the world to your child. Please help us do our job better, and please don't think that you helping your child to cheat in an exam is going to help him/her in the near future. We would be happy to answer all the questions asked by your child, how many ever times they raise it to us, because it is our job. You might probably fetch a good grade for your kid by helping, but definitely are pushing your child to a low self-esteem zone. So, dear parents, next time you think of helping your child to cheat, think twice if you want to spoil your child's future.

Regards,

Just an exhausted teacher who is bored of listening to you calling out the answers, seeing you help them click the correct answers and seeing the child looking at your face after reading out every question.

Yes, we notice all of it! We are teachers!
