But everyone else is doing it. In one of our classes, everyone cheated, even myself since our teacher was kind of bad. We didn't know what he was talking about most of the times. And he told us what the coverage would be, and all we had to do was memorize the answers- which were found on the internet. I successfully memorized the answers, though. I felt bad for the teacher since it was a major exam and many of my classmates even talked loudly and were obviously cheating.

I've never cheated because I was so afraid of getting caught. And my peripheral vision is always bad. I know a lot of people who've cheated their way to a lot of things, but in the end, when there wasn't anyone to copy things from, they lost originality and they failed at their positions. Then the only harm they did was to their selves.

Yeah, cheating in a lot of things is bad... Since you never really learn at all, and there will come a time when you just can't lie or cheat to succeed anymore- and it will be a big failure. I think the teacher knew, but didn't say anything.

Maybe she was trying to teach her students the lesson the hard way. It seems like a bad idea though cause ive heard that cheating can be quite addictive if you succeed and never seem to get caught. People cheat more when they know they wont get caught.

Yes, that could be. But we'll never know, since we cannot really ask him about it. Yeah, tell me about it. My classmates have been cheating since first year- i was quite shocked when i knew about it.. They never changed, and even became worse.

What? What kind of school is that which allows things like that to happen? Who proctored you when you had the exam? It is the fault of the teacher who was there when you took the test that he or she did not reprimand you for what you did. When I was teaching, not one student can look anywhere except his own paper, talking is not allowed and all their notes should be placed in front near the teacher's desk. They should only have their ballpens and test paper with them, and I go around to see to it that everything is done honestly.

I guess it was the fault of the teacher- it was the only subject that we cheated in... Since the teacher was not very serious n teaching so we never understood what he taught us.. But i can see he was trying. But i feel he does not want to be a teacher at all, he's always late and not explaining well.

The least your classmates could have done is not make it obvious. I've cheated on a major exam once. I don't feel any guilt. It was Spanish class. Learning a language is not easy, you know. We tried to memorize the answer but it just won't do. A classmate of ours even printed the answers in a tiny piece of paper. It made me really nervous to cheat, but I blame it on the teacher for not teaching us better. And besides, we have a lot of things to study for, and Spanish was just a minor subject and studying it takes too much time. Cheating is bad, but remember, life isn't always fair. Cheating makes people dumber and lazy, so it's not a good habit. I believe it's okay to cheat once in a while and that it's always good to have a back up plan when it comes to these things.

I guess it is okay to cheat too over something that doesn't really matter to you. But if it does, then cheating Is a really bad idea.

i never cheat with all of my exam.i think it is so meaningless that i nearly couldn't kwon my level of major.after all, cheating is deceiving ourselves.i always care others cheating. i mean,i won't follow them.do yourself is just enough. at least,i won't feel guilty.that's only what i think.

yeah, at least there are some people who still think like that. My classmates- usually just the guys, they cheat if they can, since they rarely study. We don't even try to scold them anymore since there's no point. Let's just hope the teacher is more strict.

Cheating is really bad. I won't allow it definitely. It like cheating oneself and other people. And most of all these are lies and do not come from God. People would be corrupt. That would be the effect of cheating.

Yeah, generally bad things always happen when someone cheats. It is not a good habit at all. I think our teacher really knew all of us were cheating, but he chose not to do anything about it. I wonder what he was thinking.

Well it is the choice of the student, the teacher can do nothing to fail all the student because of cheating still she is at the lost and a failure for her as a teacher she is caught in the middle. Anyway all of you is still learning cheating as it was but you digested some of the answer well.
