Will you give your answers?

I had this experience during college days, and I was working already full time, and trying to go to school during the night, she is a full time student, but when it comes to examination, she's always asking me what's the answer although she have all the time to review. So, I let her copy my answer, but when I asked her about a certain question (1question only) She said "I don't know, I didn't know the answer" but I saw that she has. That's unfair, isn't it? So after that incident I never let her copy from me again. It's good to be nice, that's part of being a student, but never let them abuse you. Let them strive harder.

I also experienced that situation as yours. My teacher also told us what had been told unto you. I also confused when somebody asked me for that because I really didn't know what to do. They might say that you're so selfish if you didn't share something, so you tend to lend them your answers. but if you give some, it was just like teaching them how to cheat and how to be lazy and that situation is one of the sin you have to avoid. Life is really ironic. but you have to choose one. and that one could be better or worse. In this situation, sometimes I lend my answers but it depends on what exam if just a quiz then, I'll do, maybe. But if it is not then, I'll pretend that I don't know the answers. I know it's a sin but I have to do it because if I didn't, they might abuse me or abuse somebody and they will also abuse their selves in being lazy, wise (in bad ways) and in being unfair with somebody and with themselves.

What you are doing is cheating and encourage cheating in others. What you do is demean the whole class by doing this. You may have a soft heart but you also have a soft head. Don't do it again. Not only that but you have given this less than honest person amunition to blackmail you again. Next time ask us first.

Well, i can give her some of my answers but not most. Just as the teacher says, giving her most of your answers would teach her not to study but to just rely on the answers of others. What's the use of her going to school when she doesn't learn anything from her lessons? Besides, if you will be caught teaching her, your teacher might let you both bout of the exam room !

When I was studying, I can't refuse it when my classmates asked for an answer especially if I really know the answer. What I do to prevent them from asking, I will sit in front of the teacher if given a chance.

Hi RSantos, your discussion reminded me when my husband and I are cheat mate during examination day and he always perfect the exam that's the reason why most of our classmates want to sit behind him. Anyway I admit that I asked my husband before to let me to copy his answer sheet but i spent and he did not wake me up to study our lesson. Anyway, i think next time better not to give your answer to her so that she will able to study hard in able to understand the subject.

Well if your really have concern to her I would listen to your teacher and don't teach her to be lazy. But if not, I think there is no reason for help.

Your teacher is right. You are not only allowing them to be lazy, you are helping to rob them of an education. If they cannot make it through school it is best they learn now and get a job to help them live. If they are smart enough but just lazy, having to get their own answers might make them work harder and complete their education. If they don't have to work they will graduate knowing very little and will be a failure at their job--and you will have helped them fail.

RSantos if you are suggeting giving the answers to someone during exams that is cheating. here in the US if you and the other person are caught you will both get a zero on the test,.you are helping someone to rob themselves of having to study and learn the answers for themselves,.do not do that its wrong and here in the US its against the law..be glad y you are leaning and help others in studying by quizzing them and h helping them get the right answers.

I guess it's better if you'll teach them the lesson before the tests. It doesn't matter if they get a perfect score if they didn't know how did they get those answers. I guess being generous is good but they are pitiful in the end. Or, what if she will get a higher grade than your grade. Maybe you'll regret teaching her. Happy my lotting.

i agree with other mylotters to let your classmate not copy from you. you may try to sit near your teacher or pretend that you are focused in answering the exams. in this way, you are also helping your classmate to be a good student.

You shoulfd listen to your teacher, its also part of life lessons where there are consequencies to our actions. If you grow up knowing you can cut corners to get what you want, then i suppose thats why our world is the way it is. Individually, we have a choice to make, propagate the same system or be the voice of reason no matter what, she may not like it but in time she will respect you for it. Be true to yourself.
