Yesterday, during guidance, you spoke about ethics. I often bring up the word INTEGRITY to you. As a reminder, the word integrity is a noun. It means: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Lately, I have not been seeing as much "integrity" as I have grown accustomed to in my Eighth Grade class. I have noticed that some people have not been so "honest" when taking quizzes and/or tests. It saddens me to think not only that you would cheat yourself by not studying and coasting through just to get a high grade, but that you also think that I would be unaware that you are doing so. I don't expect anyone to confess here. You don't have to answer to me or to your classmates. What you do with your moral character is between you and God. What I am asking you to do here in AT LEAST TWO COMPLETE SENTENCES is simply sound off. Write at least two sentences voicing your thoughts about the topic of this post. (Ex. How does it make you feel? Will it make you change your ways?) Go...

This post makes me feel kind of disheartened because I was hoping that our class could be just as good and responsible as the other eighth grade classes, if not more. The post definitely makes me think that we should try harder to push our class to be the best it can be.

Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. For me, integrity is one of the most important steps in getting a person’s trust. To be honest, this post made me feel sad because our school’s motto is to be RICH. We were all taught to be RICH. I just feel sad because I thought that now that we are older, people would start doing the right thing.

Integrity is definitely an important part of everyone’s moral character. I believe that whether or not people choose to cheat is their business between God and themselves. Despite this, I still feel as we get older and become more responsible that we should be trusted enough to do the right thing. I think as a class we should all do better or maintain our standards if you are already doing what is right.

I was aware that some students were cheating and I never told them anything because it was none of my business. So, seeing this post makes me feel that I should have tried to persuade them not to cheat anymore. Starting now everyone in this class should try to work harder and rely on their own knowledge to pass classes.

Integrity is very important for any person's personality. For me, integrity means doing the right thing and being honest about it when you haven’t. We’re getting older every year and each year, we have more responsibilities. It’s sad to hear that students in my class are going against what our school stands for (R.I.C.H) and not showing any form of integrity.

Integrity is just another word for being honest. In this school it is a part of what we strive to have. It is something we should want to keep. Integrity is something you can earn so I believe with the older we get the more trustworthy you need to be. So it's better to start having integrity now because lying is just not worth it at all.

Integrity is such an important quality to have. It is very important especially now while we take tests not physically in front of our teacher. I think it is very important to not cheat on tests/quizzes because it can break the trust that we have with our teacher, and may because hurt us as well in the long run. I believe that this post was very much needed for the whole class.

Having integrity is the key to being a decent human being. This post made me feel disappointed because I thought I could trust my classmates to do better. Considering that our schools motto is to be RICH and we were taught to be RICH throughout the school year, I feel let down. Nevertheless, what they decide to do is between them and God. I am not here to judge people.

Integrity is all about being honest and having strong morals. People have been cheating on our quizzes and tests and that made me realize our classmates aren't as honest as they seem. If you cheat that means you want a good grade but you aren't smart enough for it so all you learn is how to cheat not the actual test or quiz. I feel people should know that just study for a few minutes every once in a while will help you in your test and quizzes.

Integrity is all about honesty. I really hate that people cheat on there test and quizs because it’s unfair to the people who study and take time out there day to put in work. I feel like everyone should just be honest and study before time

Integrity is soundness of a good moral character. It's stand to our identity of who you are. As we grown up there's a lot of situation we meet and our honesty will be measure particularly in our study taken quizzes and exam. I feel sad because cheating is not good we will not learned if we did that.

Integrity is being honest with yourself and others. Reading this post makes me realize that many people cheat on quizzes and tests to get a high grade. I feel as though everyone does it for different reasons. But we must maintain our integrity with ourselves, others, and God.

Integrity is a about being honest and having strong moral principles. It has come to my attention that some kids in our class have been cheating on test and quizzes. The only thing they are getting out of it is a good grade. Instead of actually study and taking the learning it they are cheating themselves. Cheating is a bad thing and if people want to do it all they are doing is cheating themselves.

I think integrity is an important and needed quality to have. With that being said I think this blog post would definitely do some people some good. This blog post makes me feel a bit upset considering cheating is not only going to hurt the trust, but you're also hurting yourself in the long run.

Integrity is a quality I think everyone should have because integrity keeps our lives in check it makes us choose the right choices.When people cheat it's like stealing some people really take time and effort in studying and some cheat like God isn't watching,when people cheat they think they outsmarted the teachers.

I guess it's kind of sad that we are struggling with this as eighth graders. It's unfair to the students who study for hours to get good grade. If you really care about your grades, study more. I think we should all be trying to improve ourselves, and I guess some people need to improve themselves in that area.

For me to believe that people that would cheat in many of test or quizzes is very low since almost all of them are fairly easy and some are hard but there is no reason to be cheating in the test because you or they should be studying for the test they know they are going to have. It's not fair to the people that have to study all day for the test and other "cheater" don't have to do nothing at all.

I expected our class to have a lot of integrity. Sure, no class is perfect, but if more than a few people cheat on some tests or quizzes, that is not Catholic behavior. The people who cheat need to understand that it only hurts themselves in the long run, but they never think about the long run. I really hope those people can find the error in their ways and try to stop.

I think integrity is very important because it could show if you are trust worthy. It also defeats the purpose of studying and working hard for a test. It is all about doing the right thing.

I don't think we should be having this problem as eighth graders. Integrity is what builds you as a person.There are people in our class that strive to do well. It wouldn't kill anyone for you to study 10-30 minutes for a test.

Integrity is a definition to be honest. I think that when people cheat on their quizzes it is very low. Not only are you trusted to take it honestly by cheating you break that trust. I think that those who are cheating should realize that it may work now but at some point its gonna become a problem.

Integrity is an important part of what makes a good person good. However, some of us aren't acknowledging that, and we are resorting to not so ethical actions such as cheating. This makes me feel a bit sad because some of us are doing this. We shouldn't harshly condemn them for their actions, though. Instead, we should point out where they went wrong and help them from there.

Integrity is being faithful and honest. Cheating is the same thing as lying to yourself, and the sad thing is, the people who cheat don't realize this until it's to late. I hope no one of this class suffers the same fate

Integrity is a very important thing to have. I feel like people are abusing the "in person/at home thing right now. Just because you're at home doesn't mean you get to cheat. The whole point of school is so that teachers can teach, and evryone studys and gets good grades on their tests and quizzes.
