In Karl Fisch’s Dear Denver Post, Would You Be Okay With Us Cheating on the CSAP, too? talks about how the Denver Post is setting a bad example, and also nationally known celebrities, and how they are cheating trying to change an outcome they didn’t like. Why this matters is because if people like Derek Jeter are cheating and trying to change results kids are going to think that it is going to be okay to cheat. So if the Denver Post is telling students to not be enthusiastic about school and talking about cheating then what kind of role models are they, and what is the message they are sending us? Students need strong people who are good role models that will teach us to do things the right way and work hard. If Derek Jeter thinks it is okay to cheat then kids in the classroom might think it is okay to cheat. So overall cheating gets no one anywhere and if celebrities are being talked about in the newspaper about cheating then how will they show us how we should live our lives. If schools cheated on CSAP then how do you think it would affect the schools reputation, CSAPs matter to the school's survival but if we cheat then it will hurt the school even more. So even if it is Derek Jeter's job to get on base he shouldn't cheat to get there, and neither should schools.
