I think this is a very insightful statement, and something we need to maintain focus of.
Thank you for pointing this out.

s-reduce-cheating-and-improve-student-learning
"Q: How would you summarize the relationship between student learning and academic honesty (or dishonesty)? What do you think might explain this relationship?
A: Cheating is an inappropriate response to a learning environment thatıs not working for the student. Both sides of that sentence are important.
Itıs inappropriate, which means that we have to hold the student accountable for the dishonest action, and ensure that we maintain high standards of academic integrity. But itıs equally true that something in that learning environment doesnıt seem to be working for that student. He might see the course as a curricular requirement that means nothing to him; he might be confused by the assignment or see it as busywork; he might see himself as not having the knowledge or skills he needs to complete the assignment."
