Or they are there to actually learn something. I don't know about you, but I have yet to see any way to learn by cheating. Cheating is often, in more than just learning, non-productive to the potential cheater's goals.
The view that secondary level education is about instilling desired behaviours or socialising children as much as it is about learning is very common and somewhat well-supported - and to the extent that schools are focused on learning, there is again a somewhat well-supported view that they don't even do a good job of this.
