In my opinion, if the student who is cheating in class, s/he should be failed the subject, then double check the others classes’ assignments and quizzes which are cheating, or not. But we should give the second chance to the student who cheats because every one has mistakes like stolen the money from the parents, and didn’t hand in the assignments, and so on. Most mistakes can be forgiven, why the cheating shouldn’t be forgiven? People need have second chance to learn the things which are right, or not. I think the lessons which teach the student to recognize the thing is cheating or not. This is a way to fix their mistakes. Maybe they didn’t know before!
