Cheating manifests in creative ways in examinations and competitions in educational settings and is justified by numerous rationales or codes of (im)morality. Through the analysis of 3 filmic representations of such instances, this article examines ethical problems that arise in educational contexts and deals explicitly with notions of right conduct, fairness, and justice. The potential for conflict between the teacher-as-moral-agent’s abstract, absolute beliefs and the complexities presented by the ethical dilemma in its immediate context is explored. It was concluded that teachers’ decisions ultimately hinge on personally held beliefs regarding social and political inequities and that an educator’s professional and personal identities are inseparable.
