I hate when people cheat off of me. I study really hard and get my notes all organized for an open notes tests; then they bug me for the answers. It is against school rules to cheat, and results in a failing grade in a course usually if you're caught. So why would I want to help them cheat? They should study. Does anybody else find their classmates cheating off them? And what do you tell them when they keep wanting you to let them cheat? Especially if you're stuck sitting next to them all year!! !

Cheating on me would be like smuggling bio-weapons through your bloodstream...

It would work... but it's not recommended... in fact it's quite dangerous...

cheating sucks. i'll admit i've done it a fair amount of times (notes on my hand and stuff like that), but it doesn't really help as much as studying... people need to learn that and they'll get much better grades.

on tests, the best cheat is to know the answers.... the easiest way is to do the work.

I was the star of my regular level science class last year, and everybody would pretend to befriend me just to get my answers. I'm in a GT class now so it rarely happens anymore.

Back in high school I used to give them intentionally wrong answers whenever they asked me. :twisted:

I get really peed off when someone starts copying me. It is in a way a form of copying your personality. One kid in my year, John Doyle, really sucks as in one geography project I did all the work and he just copied out half of it and claimed it to be his- as well as copying a lame joke I made up! I hate it when people do that! When people cheat off me I just end up resulting in calling them fat, balding trolls or something like that.

who cares, let them cheat.. after all, it's themselves who they cheated. Let's just do them a favour.. harmful or not it'll be left to them to decide.

When I went to school people would try to cheat off me all the time. I would refuse, but eventually they broke me down and I'd do whatever they wanted if they'd just leave me alone for a few minutes :roll:

That quite frankly, is really stupid. How dare they do that! Cheaters should be beaten with a birch!

this was my pet peeve in highschool. i excelled in the language courses i took, and i specifically remember one girl looming over my shoulder in order to see the answers on my scantron sheet.

i used to be asked for answers whenever the teacher would leave the room. what the hell? is there no such thing as personal accomplishment anymore?

in college, it hasn't been so bad. maybe i haven't noticed. now, i am asked for help/tutoring.

I can honestly say I never cheated, I never studied, and I got good grades.

A photographic memory ROCKS. In spelling, I see the word spelled out and can tell when a word is spelt wrong or not. If it is, I just know it's wrong not always what the word is supposed to look like.

I read the hobbit in fourth grade and did a library test on it in seventh. Aced every question. :D

I've never cheated nor being cheated off in tests, but I often copied answers for practice questions and the like. For assignments I'd often just leave it till the last day and finish it in a single night. Not much room to be cheated off, heh.
Studying sucks, much better to do nothing and pass with ease.

I was that guy until last year, when school started to suck. After my sophomore year (11th,last year) I was no longer that guy everyone copied. Whew, it's fun to be dumb (or at least pretend to be).
