What are honor codes?

An honor code is like a promise you make to be fair and honest, just like when you agree not to cheat in a game.

Imagine you're playing a board game with your friends, and everyone agrees that no one will peek at the other person’s cards. That agreement is like an honor code, it helps keep the game fun for everyone because people trust each other.

When students have an honor code, they promise to do their best work without help from others, unless it's allowed. It's like when you're doing a puzzle by yourself, you don’t ask your brother to show you the answer, even if he knows it already.

Sometimes, teachers or schools let students follow the honor code on tests or assignments. If someone breaks the promise and cheats, they might have to face a consequence, just like when you forget to clean up your toys and get a time-out.

An honor code helps people feel proud of their work because they know it was done fairly. It's like getting a sticker for doing something right, only without the sticker, but with more trust from others!
