Do you cheat on exams?

Yeah, things do get more serious when you go to college. In high school you're just having fun. I don't know about other people but I only got serious during the last year of high school because I wanted to be able to go to a nice college. I worked hard so that I could meet the grades to be able to take entrance exams for top colleges. I even had some scholarship offers after that. One thing though, I never cheated to compete with others. It was just a fun thing to do when I was so young.

You must be a straight A student. I'm very proud of you!!!

It seems that we are a group of people. Result is not important to me.

Sometimes, i did cheat the exam except my favourite subjects.Anyway,cheating on exams does mean nothing.If you can get things done & do not hurt anybody else, that's okay.When we go into society, you will find out it's the same way the world works on. You find out the problem, you work it out.You're winner.That's it.

Haha, I guess most people would cheat if they can know for sure that they won't be caught! Anyway, I used to be quite good at maths in school, so I didn't have to cheat in that subject.....

If I could cheat in all subjects I would.But I was bad at copying during math exams because I got all the numbers wrong:)For that, I have to secretly study (lest I get heckled by my friends) and miracle of miracles I passed.

I understand. honestly, I feel proud of it hehehe but it doesn't mean that it's the right thing. It's the thing that I am not supposed to do and I won't do it again. It's become my pricipal already for not doing cheating.

Invincible. That's what I felt, too. As though I will be always in control. I felt like a train chugging on my own rails and I could change its course anytime I want. I'm not saying that it wasn't wrong. I'm just remembering how it felt that time.

If only our schools can afford to really focus on students and help them really learn. I think most of the students that resort to cheating in order to pass are really crying for help. Not really being rebellious or anything. It just means that their needs as a student are not being met so instead of being left behind they choose to toughen up and beat the system anyway they can. And sometimes we unknowingly empathize with these people that's why we help them. In our country, it's tough to be part of the public education system. The focus is on the "brightest" students so a few care about those regular students who can't excel academically. Good thing tough, they are starting to recognize that some people are more inclined to the arts. That's why some public schools have science oriented sections and some arts oriented section. I just hope the dedication of the educators extend to those who are in need of most of their help, the ones in the regular sections. But the educators' plight will be a very long commentary again so I'm stopping myself right now.

yeah i agree most cheating happens when more memorization is required.

I think most of cheating happens during high school. It's because you have to memorize a lot of thing s to pass a subject. My teacher in History even asked us to summarize the textbook we were using as reference. She would check every quarter so we were really forced to copy without understanding anything.

2/3 of the fun is really the thought of getting away with it. And sometimes knowing that your teacher knows but does not care anymore. How grueling it must have been for our dear (oh admit it, we're of them now)teachers. Day in and day out we got away with it because they did not want half the student body kicked out:)

Like math perhaps? I agree it was a lot of fun.

We're way too far away from each other. Or maybe you knew someone that I knew and passed that trick to us? Anyway we would surely be friends if we have the same tricks up our sleeves. Just don't tell anyone else and maybe we'll get arrested for corrupting gullible minds.

I'm not really making excuses. That's why I admitted I cheated in the first place:) I was only reminiscing the fun we had doing it in high school, but if that wasn't your cup of tea, that would be alright with me. Perhaps you'd rather share what you had fun with? Please do. I'm sure everyone had their own kind of fun back then.

I tried copying from seatmate once she was not cool with it. I thought she would call tour teacher, but she didn't, she just gave me this long strange stare. I only copied from people who wouldn't mind me sharing their answers after that.

Nice motto. I'm sure you're very good at reading body language right now since you have started using them in high school. I know that feeling that you'd rather study life itself than be confined in a room pouring over theories with no practice to prove that it works. Pretty frustrating and boring, too.

I also did like you when i am in schooling. But later realized. And my brain also burned up when i hate the subject. It gets lot of irritation for that exam.

I know corruption starts at the roots. But it was something that everyone did at that time. I'm not saying I had no control or that I forgot my morals, though. Cheating was a phase for me. Not a means to an end.

I actually knew a few of them. I just gave them smoldering looks (the type that says "you're in trouble", not the one that says "come over here"). Then we'd be friends after I day or two. It's just the way high school is.
