A very good reminder not only for students but for us all as well since cheating does not only happen inside the school but everywhere.

He was being honest about not cheating in Spanish class.

Kayla Griffin from Norwich, April 1, 2020

If you cheat on a test, you both could get a f and both fail. You should never copy off of anyone because they may not have the right answer and better for you to try on your own.

Marievic from Philippines, January 29, 2014

i am a teacher and love the videos posted. Would like to use them for my life orientation lessons but we do not have internet access at school. Is there a way i could download the videos and use on a laptop to teach. There is just much value in these ads which will certainly make my lessons more meaningful.

ayesha essack from durban south africa, January 7, 2014

I like the fact that the teacher was pregnant. It was like a message to her soon-to-be newborn. It symbolizes how we all want our children to be honest.

Isabelle Torres from Philippines, December 11, 2013

I liked that video alot, because I think it was very clever and smart of that kid to pass a note telling him not to cheat rather than giving him answers to the test.

Malaika Mustipher from Georiga, October 23, 2013

christy from amityville, October 16, 2013

asma from peshawar, June 15, 2013

We receive AFN TV here in Okinawa... Armed Forces Network Most of their commercials- they call them spots- are horrible, and they play the same ones over & over. We hit the mute or change channels. HOWEVER, this commercial is absoutely beautiful. My wife and I love watching it again & again. The setting, the expressions, the perfect way to get a message across- and the teacher is pregnant! Wonderful! I've been an elementary teacher for 40 years, 37 in the DoDDS system. I just watched it again, probably have seen it more than 75 times, and I just had to let you know how much we love it. Please let the folks who created that commercial know we love their work, it's perfect. I hope the teacher ( amazingly beautiful ) delivered a healthy, perfect baby. So great, so,so very wonderful. Thank You!

J. D. Ulrich from Okinawa, Japan, May 22, 2013

Greatttttt, so inspiring

Juan Martin from Colombia, May 15, 2013

Wish more was done to teach ethics in schools. It is difficult to find it anywhere these days.

Great commercial. Who's the Teacher? I've seen her before.

tjmac from michigan, April 28, 2013

I love the video, it is awesome!

ashy from concord, April 25, 2013

I love this video. It happens at my math class and instead of just cheating, we have to move seats to not cheat or talk to elbow partners when the test is out. Usually the person who's elbow partner's absent on the test day are lucky because they don't have to move seats. The person who is absent on a test day was lucky because they have even more time to study.

Connie R from California, February 20, 2013

Cheating will not make you, it will only mare you.

Fola Iwatuje from Nigeria, December 10, 2012

I salute values.com for all the ads, quotes, etc. It helps me in my teaching better values!

Anna from Philippines, December 4, 2012

When I was a kid growing up, the temptation to cheat was really great because first I am not a smart person, I have a slow learning disability and take a bit of time to learn things and most times I don't understand things from the off. So when I had a test, I really became confused alot, and most times, couldn't get the answer so I would guess. One time before a test, a friend told me about the machine which we would use to see if our answers were right. For the 80's it was a great machine because the teacher would program the computer with a master card and then the students would then enter their answer card. The machine would read the card, tally the right to wrong answers, and then give the score and grade for that test. My friend had figured out how to program the machine which was just a button on the back that when pressed as you insert the master card in. He had used it before to give himself an A, and told us kids about it. I got up the the machine and was about to reach back of the machine and I stoped because I really had a bad feeling about it. I entered my card and surprised that I actually had an 85% right for a B+. The next kid he got caught cheating using the program button on the machine. He got 5 days suspension and the machine was then taken out of the room and only the teacher used it. It was a shame, because having the machine and having us do our own scoring, meant that the teacher trusted us, and that gave us integrity. Once that trust is broken, its nearly impossible to get back. Like feathers being scattered in the wind, it will take a long time to ever gain them back. Thank you for making these great commercials that tell us all that it is better to have character then to be a character in life. "What profits a man to have money and wealth, but lose his soul" (paraphrased)

leo from Montana, November 16, 2012

I really love and enjoy the ads.

Mykeldiz from Ghana, October 6, 2012

Dominic Colosimo from Salt Lake City, Utah, September 17, 2012

One of the best commericials I've seen. Should have been/be nominated for multiple awards. Truly, moving!

Michael from Georgia USA, September 9, 2012

What's lost in this commercial is that she's pregnant. I didn't notice that before.

C from B, August 15, 2012

Realy great commercial! And to answer the ? that keeps popping up, this is from the soundtrack to the movie "Chocolat" (excellent movie) and it is called "Vianne Sets Up Shop". It was written by Rachael Portman.

Mary from Ohio, July 28, 2012

Whoever wrote this should be given a medal. I was immediately impressed with this story. I did not know who paid for the air time - thought it might be the NEA. Very surprised to read comments from almost 5 years ago. First saw it about a month ago. Good reinforcement of ethics.

The other kid should have passed another note, stating: "Let's not pass notes during the test".

Mahtob from Aurora, OR, March 1, 2012

i think that this is teaching you about not cheating and always say no! to people that are bad.

Matthew R. from Albuquerque, New Mexico USA, January 2, 2011

Yes, great commercial and I love the music. Thanks Megan H. (below) for posting the name of the song. I have downloaded several songs from iTunes just based on these commercials, which only seem to run on the FOX NEWS Channel.

Caitlyn C. from Louisiana, November 20, 2009

I found this on CNN and it touched me most. People nowadays need values embedded in their minds. People from all walks of life around the world have a declining sense of values. We are all a living witness to these in our daily lives. Thanks for having this king of website.

For the few above who wanted to know the name of that music, I found it on the soundtrack to the movie "Chocolat", it's called "Viane sets up shop" by Rachel Portman... Enjoy! The whole CD is amazing, as was the movie.

This video clip reminds me of my primary school years and the slogan my teacher use to chant in the classroom regularly: "Honesty is the best policy."

Gopala N. from Brighton, United Kingdom, May 30, 2007

I wish I would have thought of saying that when my friends asked me for answers in Elementary. I said no and they said I was being mean. I tried to explain, but they asked someone else who gave the answer and both of them got caught. Later they said I just didn't want to get in trouble. They were half right, I didn't want THEM to get in trouble. It didn't work out that way though.

Stephanie B.R. from LA, May 30, 2007

What is the music in the ad? I really like the ad, but I love the music!
