That skill will come in handy later on in life. The sociopaths I know do quite well when they learn to channel all the energy in the right direction.
i know i certainly did.... i don't know how else i would have made it through my sophomore year.... i call it answer sharing though... not cheating...
Hell it could be charity for all we know. Getting someone good grades is keeping them from dropping out or not graduating and possibly having a low wage job and having to go on welfare and raising our taxes. Its possibly helping the economy. I'd say its good for the country.
I can't believe that you people are praising cheating out of all things. The exam may have been pointless and the rest of that crap, blah, blah, blah. Yet you people, who are supposedly intelligent, are missing on the main point of schooling... Building responsibility. I have absolutely no respect for cheating. I never let people cheat off me at school, no matter how much they begged me to. It only made them respect me more in the long run. OP, do yourself a favor and don't cheat if you really want to get something out of your education. The rest of you should be ashamed of yourself. Adults should really know better than to tell a teenager that it's OK to cheat.
Here Pavel *hands can of wasabi peas* Lighten the fuck up. Anybody who doesn't know that cheating is wrong is too stupid to get into school.
You would be surprised at the amount of people who graduate through highschool simply through cheating. People naturally assume that kids are brainwashed enough into not cheating. Yet this isn't the most moral generation of teenagers. Kids question shit, especially these days with all the information that the internet and a fairly uncensored media provides. Sure they'd question cheating. No one really bothers explaining why cheating is bad anymore. It's just simply a punishable act, just like skipping class, or taking a shit in the principles coffee. Sure is hard to catch kids cheating though. Hell, I never cheated, yet I could clearly see how oblivious the teachers were to the cheating going on. Most teachers would only catch onto it when it was obvious. The fact that cheating is wrong doesn't mean that people don't do it. I just don't see why people would encourage this kind of behavior, especially in a girl as extremely gullible as the OP.
I can only speak for myself but I think you're taking the soaring eagle reactionary strategy here and blowing up over some sarcasm. Besides, you're not American. Education actually means something to you.
I notice the sarcasm, yet... ehh... ehh... ehh... I may be taking this out of proportion, but ehh... ehh... I'm trying to ehh... make a point...ehh... I guess... ehh...ehh... and...ehh... I just kinda...ehh... feel passionate about the subject... ehh... since I want to be a teacher and all... and eh... I have it when people cheat, in anything in life. I have a passionate hate for it.
