Question for students

[Kaplowitz]

once i was taking a test, and i looked up because i was trying to think, and the kid in front of me was holding her sheet straight up. That was pretty great timing.

Other than that, sometimes when there is a substitute, they dont care if you have the answers right out in front of you. Who the hell studies for vocabulary quizzes anyway in high school anyway?!

if its for a bs class i take notes into exams sometimes. depends on the format really. i find it odd that people qualify their intelligence so readily in terms of strict grading like that. i dont really see it as a moral issue, its more of a personal meritocracy. if its for a class that youre taking for a good reason and not just to make up the numbers then of course you shouldn't really need to cheat to pass it. i'm frequently amazed at the amount of lit. students i encounter who don't appear to have a love of the classics and wriggle out of reading and discussion in seminars. again it goes back to being able to parrot off what you're told and not having to put any thought into study. the whole middle class of the uk goes to uni and it shows. a degree is something people just do these days, its becoming practically worthless because of it. rant over. that was actually pretty far off topic..

I agreed with the first few sentences... then it just became a rant about the UK which I know nothing about... hehe.
