Almost like creating a system that rewards earning the highest grade over actual learning will result in a culture that prioritizes the highest grade at any cost
@@jamesrosewell9081 Yeah, succeed by using every talented person that could have helped the improvement of humanity and instead forced to work for people that dont have worth
Yea... I cheated, but also tried to learn... Problem was i spent a lot of time maximising my grades via cheating, but wasn't as smart as i could be on my country's equivalent of SATs... In the end however the grades won me over
Even the argument âcheating only harms yourselfâ kinda falls flat. Sure, I might get lower test grades, but outside of school cheating wonât matter. You never use 95% the information you learn in school anyways, so cheating wonât harm you much.
@@connerwine8257 how in the world did you get "hacking" and "stealing" from a statement about cheating, they literally have 0 things in common, please elaborate, im extremely intrigued.
ehh it honestly depends on the class and your goals. if you wanna be a writer then yeah go ahead and cheat on your math test, but if you're planning on going into psychology and cheat in statistics...be prepared for a world of hurt
@@cellooxxi high school students get really creative when it comes to cheating. Shame this creativity cant be used for a good cause, like a class that encites creativity
I'm a pretty gifted person academically in the sense that standardized testing comes naturally (I have good memory I guess) but now, in my senior year of high school. I've realized it's just easier to cheat. The only real consequences are "OH No, I don't really know how to solve a sentence long fucking math problem"
It happens to me too, until now I didn't cheat but things are going too far as mental health is concerned so I figure ways to cheat so I don't destroy my brain with studies, and some of my friends take a hole day to learn their lessons and still get pretty mediocre grades. That's because something is failing in the education system so it's so much easier to cheat even for a person like you and me who normally don't need to work hard to get good grades.
Exactly lol I also retain information very quickly Almost a straight A student I'm high school and my University exams But I just couldn't be bothered I just finished my 400L 1st semester exams and out of 7 courses. I only read for 1 course for 2+ days All the rest were the night prior to exams Mostly because I knew how unrewarding it was to read the whole note for 3 months and then see questions you weren't even taught Just cheat and giraffe to refresh your memory or rip off completely The only semester I was partially serious, I got a 4.6 But furck school
That's the deal, you need to cheat on the useless stuff, stuff you are planning to use in the future you need to learn for real, or else no one's gonna want you
Here's my short opinion on this: One of the many reasons students are cheating is the fact education isn't preparing students for life it's preparing them for tests. So now the objective isn't to study to have a good career, it's so that you get a good grade
Just proves how we all think the scores are more important than the knowledge itself, it's not like the stuff we learn in school is very important either...
@@IUsuallyDontmakeVideos itâs never important. Out of the 80% of the subjects you learn in high school, none will benefit you in life or in greater education.
@@IUsuallyDontmakeVideos the shit I learned in college even wasn't relevant to the job I got and I'm making 6 figures now. It was literally just hoops I had to jump through.
Well in the past cheating might be alot easier as there were no camera's so right it's just that they were not honest about admitting that they cheated
I call it, âbeing resourceful.â AKA, using google. Not everything has to be committed to memory. Especially if you have a condition that makes it harder for you.
As a straight A student in the âgiftedâ program (which is bullshit by the way), I listen attentively to my classes, do the in class work and labs, but will never go out of my way to reading the textbook again when Iâm back at home. When high school started, If thereâs homework thatâs marked, I search the answers online or just copy from the back of the book. If thereâs a test, I study for about an hour the night before, and if I still donât feel ready, fill in my missing spots with cheating. Itâs just not worth investing the extra time into studying something you genuinely donât care for and donât see the applications of in real life. The motivation simply isnât there. Get the grades, get out and pursue a career that you somewhat like in Uni pretty much. :/
@@zif9657 education program made for kids that are more âadvancedâ. Thereâs a whole test and shit to get in. Itâs no different from a regular academic curriculum, except the smartest kids in the grade are put in the same classes, which usually makes said class advance a lot faster.

As a straight A student and a former math olympiad participant i totally agree its not worth it anymore to me learning React in high school was 100 times better than wasting a second on Shakespeare
Well yeah they're updating all the technology we use to do lessons but not updating the lessons themselves. Aka what actually matters, schools don't care anymore. The education system has been a joke for years.
@@somerandominternetuser5730 it's has been around since the ages when they needed to pump out factory workers and worker drones (around the industrial revolution) and it was to teach then the basics that they'll likely need there, sure, but it was also used to get them used to a tight schedule with 1 lunch break and scheduled bathroom breaks. And it hasn't changed much since then.
It's sad seeing brats on the internet cry over the education system but so many poor kids in other countries don't even have education. This is coming from a junior in high school
I think it's important that we start looking into the 'why' question here... The school system is rotten and awful and not focused on students' well-being.
If the teachers tried to make their lessons even the little bit entertaining I wouldnât have needed to cheat. They had to audacity to blame us when they didnât let us take notes using devices as well as not give out any text book work. How can I focus on a person speaking in monotone for a hour with no clear structure: normally teachers follow a textbook and teach according to the structure .
@@Fizzy-ty7sg but thatâs a issue that stems from society. The better the grade the higher chance of employment after university is the assumption because most of the âelitesâ in each department are fought over for with high salaries.
I had all Aâs always until Highschool. I got my first B and it destroyed my self esteem. Unfortunately my parents placed my entire value in how âsmartâ I was and my mom of course was upset to see I got a B. I cheated every chance I got in Highschool even when I knew the answer. Before I got to college anything less than a 98% might as well have been an F. I feel bad for Highschool students now if the stakes have gotten higher. Because one girl in my grade level had a brain aneurysm, from stress.
my parents make it more stressful for me to be honest if they didn't get mad at me and take away my stuff when I got b's or even just one missing assignment then I would feel a little better
I got plenty of Fs in middle and high school but I was a straight As student in elementary school. I just started cheating enough to get the passing grade.
I remember there was this kid in my class who was a straight A student, but he had a question, just this one time and then the teacher comes to him and is just like "Wow I didn't think I'd ever have to help you with this." I could hear in his voice that it made him upset. She really should have kept that to herself.
How are we supposed not to cheat when the teachers give us a radically different topic than what they taught us/told us that the test will contain. My Physics teacher told us that the exam will be about radioactivity. She gave us 10 lessons behind radioactivity, thus I studied for nothing.
This happens every single time! Its frustrating because you actually prepare for the test with the intention to pass and when they give you questions no where related to what they taught its just ://
Or when they give you a harder version of the topic that you probably didnât went through in class. Example: you went through whatâs 2/4 x 4/8 in class and during the tests itâll be something like 3x + 4y/2x + 8x-5y/2x (Iâm using an elementary example because I canât think of a better one atm)
NO BC my ap chinese 4 teacher gave us THREE ASSESSMENTS in ONE week. i had to memorize how to recite an entire paragraph on monday, right?? oh no. i also had to take a test over 39 vocab words, grammar, reading/listening comprehension, and writing. and THEN had to memorize how to write the same paragraph from monday on friday. sure she gave us an entire week to do all three things, BUT I HAVE OTHER CLASSES. itâs so bogus
As a student that has always been one of the best in my class, I admit since quarantine started I have cheated like never before. Sometimes I feel really disappointed in myself but other times, it is so much pressure that i feel like i have to do it.
Maybe if my teachers didnât give you a -25 point penalty for being a day late, people would take their time on assignments instead of cheating, googling the answers to finish on time.
Same like my school made me have 5 essays due in 3 to five days and i had to go to other classes help my sister get prepared for the baby because shes staying at our home for now so im already stressed with the arguments of them screaming
it's really sad that more kids are cheating today, but that's because everyone has made failure in school seem like such a bad thing. if you genuinely have tried, and fail, you are scolded. we cheat because, for some reason, the education system has forgotten that failure is learning.
Yeah and the amount of work they give is so Much and when itâs poorly explained most times I donât have the time to actually sit and learn it 1v1 myself and then also Bc my brain takes longer to process, itâs super hard for me to get it done in time and takes hours for me to do one assignment, like I and others donât have time for the amount of work they give.
@@MsRizz100 my math class the last two years đ we use this dumb website with poorly worded questions with extra curveballs added that we dont know well enough. The teachers dont help us well either
If they would make lessons fun we would be motivated enough to try even harder, they also should realize people learn at different rates and ways(Iâm not saying break it down for each student) But they should at least take that into account
As a junior in highschool I definitely think it's closer to the 98%, especially since covid, the system really doesn't care about what you actually learn at this point it's about the grades
I mean, depends on what is considered cheating. For example, some Chemistry stuff, students had no idea how to do it even though they literally HAD THE FRICKING INTERNET available to them. If Google translate is cheating then oof. Or just google in general.
i did my freshman year completely virtual. youâd be an idiot not to cheat in online class, itâs laughably easy. iâm not sure why those classes even happened to begin with. i canât think of a single assessment i didnât cheat on that year like what did anyone get out of that
â@@labadaba5088it's because chemistry is hard and we got only one lessons per week :) and we need to learn 200 pages book while having only 20/30 lessons of it. Like 3/4 page per fucking lesson, and also we can't learn new stuff on every fucking lessons (exams :)). How the fuck am I supposed to learn chemistry with that? This system really thinks we gonna learn everything at home and they gonna just rate us
@Stars Tea ugh I hate when teachers do that. I had a science teacher who never did anything except put a PowerPoint for us to take notes on, s PowerPoint she didnât even make. She would just sit there and click the button every once in awhile to change the slide.
I used to have a middle school teacher who didnât believe in grades, he never gave us our grades and instead only used a pass or fail system, for big assignments he would give us our grades but would never give our parents our grades. He ended up getting fired half way through the school year bc of this but I honestly believe that his way of teaching was very beneficial
Things the school system doesnât do well: preserving studentâs mental health, prepare students for the real world, keep education at least tolerable, teach students information theyâre going to use at least once in their lives outside of school, prevent cheating, motivate students to work hard. Edit: There are a few trolls in the replies, a few idiots, and a few lucky people that have schools that actually do some of these well. Overall, schools donât do these things very well, so stop trying to argue with that. And no, mental health was not invented by the government.
@@Jetdonk3y No it does not. The modern education system doesnât teach anything and is quite literally a memorization game. If a student didnât understand something in middle school (For example; something in Algebra) and asks for help from their teacher, the teacher will just say âLook in the bookâ and not explain anything. This leads to kids not caring about what they donât understand since they have to worry about the next thing coming up in the following week. The last test I took in middle and high school where literally memorization tests and a good portion of the questions I had no understanding and still got one of the highest grades in my class. Modern schools are a joke and need some heavy revision before kids even begin to give an ounce of a shit about it.
@@Jetdonk3y dang school checks mental health? That's great to know how some students got so tired of school they started injuring teachers, other students which they also didn't check teachers' mental health as they were smacking students for no reason in my class injuring them enough to not want to come to school again
**clears throat** *If students that are doing well in school feel pressured to cheat, and students are happy that a literal deadly virus closed schools that their parents pay thousands for, schools should probably rethink some shit*
Here's the problem: In almost all subjects (but especially math so that will be my example), teachers will press into your brain that 2+2=4. But when it's time for the test, the questions are 1/16(-127x - 335) - 4^48 Then when you get the questions wrong, they don't tell you how you can fix it. They just take off points and expect you to know what you did. This can greatly affect your grade, which affects everything else you will do in life. It affects the next school you will go to, if you will even pass the school year, which collages will accept you, and thus what job you are able to get. One or two classes can be the difference in a student who gets minimum wage and a student who makes thousands. Teachers need to do a better job of explaining and teaching what the tests require.
The world is a game. Play to win. Cheating is part of the competition and itâs a risk. If you get to harvard from cheating, youâll still have a better job than all your friends just from the name of the school.
and hopefully that will bring anyone who cheat smartly some good results basically were getting any help that we could get in order to get through life.
As a student whoâs always done academically well, I cheated a shit ton in my first year of high school. Itâs not only about the stress, itâs about taking advantage of the opportunity that I had. I know a lot of people will say that itâs unfair and will affect me, but like I said Iâve always done academically well. I understood all the content, but still felt the need to cheat to make sure everything was perfect. Besides, it helped with stress đ€·đœââïž
I cheated alot this year, not bc i wanted to, i just had like 5 damn exam in one day, i cant revise this fast so yea, lowkey regrets but i did what i did
Iâm one of the smartest kids in my class, and I donât cheat, but the pressure seriously is unbearable. When getting your results back, you can feel everyone expecting you to get one of/the best grade in the class. This means when I donât pass or only just pass, I feel self conscious, I doubt my ability and I am severely ashamed. Next time you see a smart person, donât just think of them as a brain. We have feelings too.
I definitely think thereâs a lot of factors affecting why and that theyâre all related to the failures of our education system. Students are performing better academically than in the past, and a college degree is expected in a lot of professions now, so thereâs higher competition combined with higher pressure. Failure isnât considered a part of learning in school, itâs viewed as a lack of trying/personal flaw. Students are praised more for âbeing smartâ rather than being curious, intuitive, and having a good work ethic, and because of this they feel that their identity as a âsmartâ kid is threatened if they perform poorly. A lot of my peers who cheated were straight-A students.
When I was in elementary I consistently got 1st place from pre-school to 4th grade. Expectations from my parents and teachers were very high (even more so since my sister couldve been the valedictorian in the same school if it werent for a teachers favoritism) , and so when I failed to get 1st place in 5th grade my confidence and everything else fell down, I believed that I was a failure and that I was letting my parents,friends and teachers down, forcing me to cheat in hopes that I obtain valedictorian in the next grade. Of course I got overwhelmed and my grades and confidence kept going downhill from there.
exactly what I want to say, I don't have the best grades but I know for a damn fact I am very curious and have so many ideas. The second I ask "too many" questions the teachers seem pissed off when I am just trying to understand the topic properly. They think I am not paying attention..I am just a slow learner but once I do learn its over for them mfs
I think the lessons have become harder and harder as well and we have 11 subjects every single day. I remember my mom looking at my notes and she was like *What? These lessons were taught like when we were in college.* I was in 7th grade at that time. Or maybe it's just our teachers lol
Iâm in honors geo for freshman year of highschool and honestly, the lessons are kind of easy. Itâs just the fact that my teacher sucks at teaching us. We just came from middle school, online quarantine school, and A/B schedule (we had A & B days to separate our 8 periods of school but not the point). Itâs hard to get used to because everyone was so refreshed when having online school because everything was less stressful. And also, my teacher just gives us a slideshow for us to copy down on a lined piece of paper. The notes arenât even actual notes because thereâs no context other than random answers pasted onto some random piece of paper. Itâs also the fact that we get a new lesson every single school day, we get no classwork on the previous lesson, which means we donât really get any practice. The harder classes such as Algebra II honors ACTUALLY get classwork, and we donât. We get homework for sure, but the homework doesnât even correlate to what we learned NOR what is on the quiz. The questions on the homework is hard and confusing. I talked to a lot of my friends in honors geo and they say theyâre failing. The subject isnât even that hard either, my teacher just doesnât give a fuck about how heâs making us learn. Nobody wants to speak up though.
I had really good grades in high school but my memorization skills are pretty bad. My history teacher used to quiz us on things like the names and locations of all the lakes in Puerto Rico. Iâll be the first to admit that after the first one of these ridiculous quizzes I just started cheating on them. Sat next to the valedictorian and copied her answers. Pretty sure my history teacher knew too and just never called me out on it cause I was a good student otherwise.
if homework and formative assessments count, then I definitely copied whole pages of computations and shared answers with the whole class. I never really did find a convenient way to cheat quizzes and exams where the testers watch you like a hawk, always felt like cheating here is not worth the risk of getting a 0.
While I am not arguing that the number has gone up, I feel like there is something to be said for the fact that you are asking people at different times. Put it this way: if you, a hypothetical 20 year old with your first good job, are approached by a scientist asking you to answer the question "did you cheat I high-school?" with the promise of total anonymity, then you are probably going to admit that, yes, you did. However, if the same hypothetical 20 year old was asked the same question in 1940, they may have a very different answer. The consequences are so different. If your boss finds out now, you get a slap on the wrist. Back then, perhaps you would be fired. This is like saying that the rate of couples cheating on their SO's has gone up since 1940. Yes, it definitely has, but it's really difficult to gage how much because the consequences are so very different for the same action, that many people may have just lied back then to save their own skins.
Hey manâŠlike my middle coach said with a straight face.. âIf you ainât cheatin, you ainât tryin boah. Bein a cheater in life proves you know what you want. Itâs called workin around the system, and takin advantage of the opportunity.â And that is a real quote.. but personally I donât cheat..THAT MUCHâŠbut yeah.
Also my school punishes everyone, not just the cheaters themselves so even though I myself do not cheat, itâs very tempting to because Iâm receiving the same treatment as cheaters. Like on a physics test some kids that had a different teacher cheated during the test, so the entire physics department just made every test after that much harder and over concepts they didnât cover in class
Step 1.) Get bad eyes Step 2.) Get glasses Step 3.) Get two microfiber cloths to clean the glasses Step 4.) Right the answers on one and look at them during the test. If anyone asks pull out the one without writing
I actually cheated in this English language test once and it helped me understand how to answer the specific style of question that my teachers didn't really go through. When it came to the real test I went from a B to an A* without cheating. Yeh obviously cheating is bad but guess it helps sometimes lol.
Some say its dumb but the fact that a lot of student actually cheated without getting caught is actually pretty smart on its own. I mean I gotta be honest with you I cheated a lot of times in my exams, and not a single teacher noticed it. This just show how bad the system is, its that bad the student resort in to cheating just to get a high grade.
I had a highschool teacher that encouraged us to use our creativity to cheat. He was very observative, and said that if you could pass through his watch, you deserved to cheat.
@@zeta1593 wow, i also had that kind of teacher too. He told us not to bombare our brains with information that we don't understand. Instead, just go cheat. Ever watch Bad Genius movie? Pretty much that's how we try to cheat
@@zeta1593 damn at least there are some teachers who know how wacky the education system is and lets their student cheat instead of letting their students' brain rot every exam
@@randooo22 yeah, but he was my french (my main langage) and philosophy teacher, so you can't really cheat at an essay (he let us to take it at home and even auto-correct) or at a text explanation
Can Confirm I cheated throughout all of high school. Got into a decent college and bless them for not making the SAT mandatory. Made high school so much easier since I rarely studied. Fake it till you make it đ
Bruhhh i graduated high school in 2019. It's safe to say that all of my classmates are liars. (Im in special edu class, meaning a class solely for high grade student) We were all aware that we snitch notes in the test room. However, no one is going to say anything. Why? Cuz the majority of the teachers at my school are still stuck in the past. You didn't pass the exam? Prepare to be embarrassed because they'll pick on you even if it's not their issue.
Everyone is cheating, everywhere, always. There's a handful of people/situations where you can be honest and true, the rest is too risky. You either play or get played.
Used to cheat a lot too even tho I was already getting A's and B's everywhere after grade 10. I just liked having the answers if I ever forgot them in a test or the test was just about memorising.
Another possible reason is that a lot of high school teachers arenât qualified to teach. In earlier days, HS teachers were better prepared and paid leading to overall better teaching, especially with easier concepts to teach. But todayâs teachers arenât paid well, prepared, and have harder concepts to teach for students to prepare for state tests. And when teachers arenât able to teach, a lot of students resort to cheating. At my middle school, they had a shortage of teachers so they had one of the school nurses become a teacher. And another teacher wasnât paid enough so lived in a car, even though I was at the second largest school in my state.
I cheated my way through 7 ap classes throughout high school . I would get information about the tests for all of the ap classes I had later in the day by trading the knowledge of the tests for ap classes that were earlier in the day for me. Also the teachers not changing the exams yearly and having upper classman friends who gave me their old exams helped too. On the ap tests I did fine, got 5s on all of them except for a 4 on ap chem.
Shit i don't cheat and my gpa is high but i still think cheating rn is understandable. Well the problem is that school doesn't seem to think that failure is part of learning. Why couldn't they allow multiple retakes of quizes? There are times where I just want to read books and understand the concept or equation, but the problem is that there are quizes of thet lessons that are due the next 3 days, so in the end, I only skim through the book, and ended up not grasping the whole concept, I still scored high but where tf is learning in that. I had this one friend who is really behind on concepts and stuff. We are already in college but he still has a hard time solving basic calculus and algebra. I asked him about this stuff, and apparently their high school didn't teach them shit. He was a good classmate, eager to learn, when I teach him. And the problematic thing is that the school doesn't seem to care abt these ppl. It was scary thinking about it in his shoes, how he must have felt left out. Yea so therefore school is shit, I would still encourage you to go to school, but it doesn't change the fact that school is shit.
I understand ur friend. When I had started high school last year, we were learning algebra. The problem is, my middle school never taught me ANY of that, leading to be being behind and the math teacher never pointed me in the direction to get help. Hopefully now I can learn as a 10th grader, and I've heard good things about my new math teacher. Best of luck to all of you.
That's so true. I never promoted cheating and I have never done it by myself and yet has scored pretty high scores. And I totally relate to you! I have experienced that shit when you just have to got through the damn book just to get good scores and despite knowing what you want to read and what you want to explore more, you are forced to "excel" in everything by school. Multiple retakes for quizzes SHOULD be a thing! Sometimes you are just not confident enough (or maybe you ended up scrolling deep through a sub topic you really enjoyed and forgot to read the rest thing, like me lol), retaking quizzes actually help me in building self confidence. Idk education system and schools are just shit. The only thing I like is that it makes you disciplined and keeps you in a routine. Other wise, it's meh.
I agree. Schools too focused on memorization. They don't really care about the actual learning experience of the students. We really need to change the System. It's still happening almost everywhere in almost every country on earth.
@@wedoliveinasocietydowenot I'm in the exact same situation, my old middle school was literally the worst teachers didn't care. and the exam was literally just testing memory đ I'd ask the top student to explain something to me and he'd just state the same statement that is in the book. It also didn't help that the teachers were speaking a different language for most of the classes. Now in 10th grade, I'm lagging behind with math and physics just because they didn't help me with the basics. So now I have this incredible pressure on me to catch up and even surpass my classmates because of my parents' expectations. But oh well here I am. Good luck đ
I'm kinda the same. I never cheated and still got high scores because my short term memory retention is pretty decent. Of course, after I'm done with answering the questions, I just forget all about it unless I really want to learn the concept. However, I will admit that ever since the start to online classes, I started cheating. I really can't help it. As much as I want to actually learn and answered honestly, I just have no time. For example, I have 28 units this semester, 9 subjects and 1 synchronous classes per subject every week. Meaning, we are only given an hour per week to be taught lessons. If they don't finished the discussion in an hour then we would have to learn it by ourselves then the next week, we will proceed with a new lesson. Now, I'm fine with self study. The thing though is the activities. There were at least 8 activities per subjects that is needed to be submitted every Saturday, midnight. And since, I am living with my parents, of course my day just now consist of me sitting in front of my laptop and doing school work. I still have to do chores. When exactly, do I have the time to study? Then there is the pressure to produce good results. To be honest, my mental health just went crashing down because of online classes.
I mean, if a student manages to cheat without being noticed by a strict teacher on watch. I would give that student a medal for discovering a way that, that school should prevent.
I never cheated in high school, but in college, I chose to cheat in unimportant subjects that I need to pass, but in subjects that I can really learn a lot from and I need to master, I never cheat.
I soo fuckin agree with this, I'm in 12th Grade and I dare not to cheat on subjects that I really need to learn from, that would be general biology and physics. I feel like other subjects are just time consuming, I tend to cheat on those subs to lessen the time and pass my tasks asap, though if I were to have enough spare time I'd give it full attention and learn.
@@glaucous3215 True. Sometimes the school system can be oppressive for making us learn things we don't need. It doesn't make you bad. You just need to do certain things to stay afloat and survive considering the time you have. Life isn't all about studying after all. You also need some time to play. Just make sure you aren't caught. Hahaha.
I cheated on my high school finals, my life was falling apart, I had no motivation to continue school and was failing every class. So yeah my only option was to cheat the hardest exams the UK released in 5 years or end up having no qualifications.
I kinda started questioning the education system once I got older bc the stuff they were teaching and their methods were questionable. I hate how everyone is like "If you study hard and get A's you'll have a successful life!!!". This is going to be long, and these are only my thought but to anyone whos reading this: Good grades are inferior to passions, dreams, and that will to never stop learning (not school stuff in general). Many people who have changed the world (like Einstein) didn't do well at all in school. I'm not saying that school subjects are bad, but don't blindly believe that school will lead you to a successful life, you lead yourself to a successful life. I'm tried of seeing people cry and get devastated over the fact they don't get A's. Shouldn't we question the thing that we put our futures in? Also, this is coming from a B-A student, so this isn't just because I don't get good grades. As Einstein once said: "Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." Good luck everyone! Remember that this is only my opinion and you shouldn't change your entire way of thinking. Just give it a thought for yourself :)
"students nowadays are cheating more than expected" Haha, come to my school and see the math teacher, she makes the tests easy but somehow without anyone to cheat đ
It feels like their giving us even more than triple than what they would give us in face to face, It's like the school thinks since we use our computers more commonly now they think we can finish assignments just as fast as one
I think thereâs a disconnect between what cheating is. Iâve used resources I wasnât supposed to on homeworks or even some take home quiz grades/online assignments, but never gone out of my way to cheat during an exam. If someone asked me have I ever cheated in school, Iâd say yes, but Iâd say thereâs a clear difference from someone who cheats instead of studying.
I went to an early college high school. They only accepted 100 students per year and the admissions process was hard. My class (c/o 2012) were the very first 9-12 graders at the school. We had to juggle high school and actual college classes at the same time. It wasnât necessarily âhardâ but we were all expected to overachieve. We cheated and helped each other a lot! By the time my class graduated we only had 60 students. The others left because they couldnât take the pressure. I remember in chemistry we finished the entire text book ahead of the district. Several of our teachers were more than just people who majored in a subject and decided to become a teacher. They were actual heavyweights in their fields. Some of them even helped write the textbooks. It was stressful sometimes but I appreciate my education. Especially when I see people learning not even a fraction of what I got to learn.
I agree to this 100%. Today we had biology exam and the invigilator took a step out for a moment. The whole exam hall was silent when she was inside, but as soon as everyone saw she went a little further away, everyone started 'whispering' loudly. And when I say loudly, I mean the whole corridor could her it. The invigilator came back running and the class went back to silence. Istg the teacher's face was priceless. đđđ
Cheating isn't bad if you look online for an answer and try to understand how the answer was gotten Even if you cheated, you learned how to get to a result better Of course, most who cheat don't try to learn and understand it
Aight hear me out. Cheating requires a lot more thinking and brain power than remembering stuff. And this is coming from a guy who loves maths and physics
i also love math,or i used to do,but since im now in algebra i see it kind of useless ngl like i feel that it wont help me even a bit and using my brain will be better once i was triying to find the angle of an acute angle, i needed to do a formula to find it and i didnt remember i asked my mom and instead of doing a formula or triying to put a ramdom thing she legit just putted her fingers and said âthats around 32â she was right,she didnt need a formula or tho even try to remember she just used her brain,and a lot of things in algebra are just the same i can do but with harder and unnecesary steps
I usually somewhat cheat on most of my tests. I don't look for the answer. I just check if I'm using the correct equation or formula. Shit is hard to remember, and I know how to do it, I just don't remember the formula
I mean, parents now are very pressuring. I'm a model student, I once googled the answer on google but still keeps my first answer before I googled. The answer I submitted is wrong tho.
Letâs be real here, all of us here have cheated on a test before and this is a problem, the current school system is one of the most heavily flawed and senseless system in the world. Kids cheated on tests because the society nowadays value grades that they got from answering stupid questions that we NEVER EVER need in the actual life than the well-being and actual knowledge of a student, who were forced by the society to waste away their greatness, which is both horrible and stupid. Now Iâm not saying this because Iâm a failing student, Iâm an average student and I say this because itâs the truth, the learning system nowadays is literally the same as it was hundreds of years ago and things like strict dress-code and use of technology are still around, which is utterly nonsense.
I agree with you, everything as changed in our world from centuries ago except for school. I am a top grade student with around a 3.8 GPA and have to say that I have cheated before (especially during online classes) and that this school system shouldn't value grades as much as it does right now. They should value on what the kids want to do in their life instead of doing the easy thing of teaching the same thing to every student.
The problem you have is that you still cheated. You can work hard enough and nail your tests and then have a great life growing up. Cheating just shows youâre not capable of actually learning anything and if I was hiring someone for a job I would definitely not hire you. If you donât work hard, donât expect life to give you everything.
@@calumgordon5444 Come on, donât act like youâve never cheated on a test before and also, even some successful people cheated on tests and itâs not like theyâre gonna ask about maths and science questions when youâre at a job interview unless youâre a teacher. And most importantly, after you graduate university, no job interviewer give a damn if you cheat on tests or not and since every students cheated on tests before, including you, can you donât act like some smart and humble people here.
@@bestomator6568 Your way of coping shouldnât be targeted on others. Youâre expecting that everyone cheats and yet thatâs not true at all, people who work hard and give a damn donât cheat, if you canât handle the exams and tests then you shouldnât bother trying hard at anything. Iâm sure everyone who cheats feels guilty afterwards especially if you didnât deserve to pass. How are you going to understand things if you cheat them because I sure hope you donât go in the direction of teaching and telling all the students to cheat in their test.
In real life, you have to take advantage of the tools and resources at your disposal. If a teacher arbitrarily decides that's cheating, they're not doing their job which is supposed to be to prepare students for life in the real world. That's what my chemistry professor in college said when he explained to me why he wasn't gonna fail me for programming my calculator "illegally".
@@PerciseGunplay ndless. It's a custom software package for the ti n-spire. You can install a .pdf reader. I uploaded the chapters of my chem textbook that we covered, bookmarked the pages that were relevant and could ctrl + f for any eq's I needed but couldn't remember. He argued that since he allowed any calculator on the test and never specified anything about notes on the calculator, and since I only brought supplies I was allowed to bring, I wasn't breaking any rules he had established. He did change the syllabus the next term though. The rabbit-hole for programming ti n-spires is basically bottomless. I have the CAS version so I also set it up to turn CAS on and off depending on if it was legal for an exam or not. Or just to make it look like CAS was off. but most of the calculus I do at this point, even though it's easier with CAS, is almost more work to program into a calculator than to just run it on paper. Especially since I often need to do step-by-step proofs for assignments I turn in.
@@PerciseGunplayyou can store notes in programs and some apps like the periodic table app could help in tests. If your teacher makes you clear your calculator, you can archive the notes program so that clearing ram doesn't erase it
@@TheObamaGaming the thing is, most globally respected tests or certificates require the candidate to use specific calculators - like how tf am i meant to code a fucking snake game in a casio calculator built like a brick.
At this point, you need good memory, which I donât have, to pass school. One of my friends who has good memory tells me that he doesnât study and gets good grades but I have to at least study for a long time to at least understand or remember something simple and I barely get good grades
Having a cheat sheet or just using internet for exams should be allowed, knowing where to find the sources to know an answer is way more valuable than just memorizing a fact or a formula
This^ Knowing how to use our resources for information is much more reliable and sensible then trying to use our heads. No one is capable remembering everything (unless they have that one rare condition that makes it impossible for them to forget, but that's not very many people)
â@@danielwang7472 ok but whats stopping us from just googling those things? even my mom has to google stuff that she knows already because people will eventually forget that stuff
I have to admit, I do cheat. I have my own secret code that I use to write in my diaries; not even my parents can depict it. I use it to write down the answers on my desk. The secret codes are pictures like monkeys, playgrounds, clouds, Saturn etc, for each number and alphabet. The teachers just joke around how I seem to love doodling. I know it's very shameful of me to do this, but I just wanted to admit :(
Not related to the subject of cheating, but this video reminded me of the time I was talking about state tests to my mom. She informed me that even a lot of teachers are on board with just doing away with them. The reason is that bright students may not perform well under pressure/time limit. Big state tests do more harm than good imo
Cheating occurs when grades are valued more than actually learning the knowledge of the lesson.

I'm a pretty gifted person academically in the sense that standardized testing comes naturally (I have good memory I guess) but now, in my senior year of high school. I've realized it's just easier to cheat. The only real consequences are "OH No, I don't really know how to solve a sentence long fucking math problem"
It happens to me too, until now I didn't cheat but things are going too far as mental health is concerned so I figure ways to cheat so I don't destroy my brain with studies, and some of my friends take a hole day to learn their lessons and still get pretty mediocre grades. That's because something is failing in the education system so it's so much easier to cheat even for a person like you and me who normally don't need to work hard to get good grades.

That's the deal, you need to cheat on the useless stuff, stuff you are planning to use in the future you need to learn for real, or else no one's gonna want you
Here's my short opinion on this:
One of the many reasons students are cheating is the fact education isn't preparing students for life it's preparing them for tests. So now the objective isn't to study to have a good career, it's so that you get a good grade
ohhh this makes sense

As a straight A student in the âgiftedâ program (which is bullshit by the way), I listen attentively to my classes, do the in class work and labs, but will never go out of my way to reading the textbook again when Iâm back at home. When high school started, If thereâs homework thatâs marked, I search the answers online or just copy from the back of the book. If thereâs a test, I study for about an hour the night before, and if I still donât feel ready, fill in my missing spots with cheating.
Itâs just not worth investing the extra time into studying something you genuinely donât care for and donât see the applications of in real life. The motivation simply isnât there. Get the grades, get out and pursue a career that you somewhat like in Uni pretty much. :/

@@somerandominternetuser5730 it's has been around since the ages when they needed to pump out factory workers and worker drones (around the industrial revolution) and it was to teach then the basics that they'll likely need there, sure, but it was also used to get them used to a tight schedule with 1 lunch break and scheduled bathroom breaks. And it hasn't changed much since then.
It's sad seeing brats on the internet cry over the education system but so many poor kids in other countries don't even have education. This is coming from a junior in high school
I think it's important that we start looking into the 'why' question here... The school system is rotten and awful and not focused on students' well-being.
i couldn't agree more
If the teachers tried to make their lessons even the little bit entertaining I wouldnât have needed to cheat. They had to audacity to blame us when they didnât let us take notes using devices as well as not give out any text book work. How can I focus on a person speaking in monotone for a hour with no clear structure: normally teachers follow a textbook and teach according to the structure .
I think another reason is all that pressure from the parents telling the kid that they will punish them if they get a bad grade
@@Fizzy-ty7sg but thatâs a issue that stems from society. The better the grade the higher chance of employment after university is the assumption because most of the âelitesâ in each department are fought over for with high salaries.

I had all Aâs always until Highschool. I got my first B and it destroyed my self esteem. Unfortunately my parents placed my entire value in how âsmartâ I was and my mom of course was upset to see I got a B. I cheated every chance I got in Highschool even when I knew the answer.

How are we supposed not to cheat when the teachers give us a radically different topic than what they taught us/told us that the test will contain.
My Physics teacher told us that the exam will be about radioactivity. She gave us 10 lessons behind radioactivity, thus I studied for nothing.
This happens every single time! Its frustrating because you actually prepare for the test with the intention to pass and when they give you questions no where related to what they taught its just ://
Or when they give you a harder version of the topic that you probably didnât went through in class. Example: you went through whatâs 2/4 x 4/8 in class and during the tests itâll be something like 3x + 4y/2x + 8x-5y/2x (Iâm using an elementary example because I canât think of a better one atm)

Now I understand why I did so poorly in high school. I'm an honest guy
Here's the problem: In almost all subjects (but especially math so that will be my example), teachers will press into your brain that 2+2=4. But when it's time for the test, the questions are 1/16(-127x - 335) - 4^48
Then when you get the questions wrong, they don't tell you how you can fix it. They just take off points and expect you to know what you did. This can greatly affect your grade, which affects everything else you will do in life. It affects the next school you will go to, if you will even pass the school year, which collages will accept you, and thus what job you are able to get. One or two classes can be the difference in a student who gets minimum wage and a student who makes thousands. Teachers need to do a better job of explaining and teaching what the tests require.

I definitely think thereâs a lot of factors affecting why and that theyâre all related to the failures of our education system. Students are performing better academically than in the past, and a college degree is expected in a lot of professions now, so thereâs higher competition combined with higher pressure. Failure isnât considered a part of learning in school, itâs viewed as a lack of trying/personal flaw. Students are praised more for âbeing smartâ rather than being curious, intuitive, and having a good work ethic, and because of this they feel that their identity as a âsmartâ kid is threatened if they perform poorly. A lot of my peers who cheated were straight-A students.

, and so when I failed to get 1st place in 5th grade my confidence and everything else fell down, I believed that I was a failure and that I was letting my parents,friends and teachers down, forcing me to cheat in hopes that I obtain valedictorian in the next grade. Of course I got overwhelmed and my grades and confidence kept going downhill from there.
I have never agreed with a comment so much. It is sad to see studentsâ intelligence limited to a mere percentage grade.
exactly what I want to say, I don't have the best grades but I know for a damn fact I am very curious and have so many ideas. The second I ask "too many" questions the teachers seem pissed off when I am just trying to understand the topic properly. They think I am not paying attention..I am just a slow learner but once I do learn its over for them mfs
Not even highschooler but college student doing too
Exams don't make you truly learn, they make you memorise
I think the lessons have become harder and harder as well and we have 11 subjects every single day. I remember my mom looking at my notes and she was like *What? These lessons were taught like when we were in college.* I was in 7th grade at that time. Or maybe it's just our teachers lol
Iâm in honors geo for freshman year of highschool and honestly, the lessons are kind of easy. Itâs just the fact that my teacher sucks at teaching us. We just came from middle school, online quarantine school, and A/B schedule (we had A & B days to separate our 8 periods of school but not the point). Itâs hard to get used to because everyone was so refreshed when having online school because everything was less stressful. And also, my teacher just gives us a slideshow for us to copy down on a lined piece of paper. The notes arenât even actual notes because thereâs no context other than random answers pasted onto some random piece of paper. Itâs also the fact that we get a new lesson every single school day, we get no classwork on the previous lesson, which means we donât really get any practice. The harder classes such as Algebra II honors ACTUALLY get classwork, and we donât. We get homework for sure, but the homework doesnât even correlate to what we learned NOR what is on the quiz. The questions on the homework is hard and confusing. I talked to a lot of my friends in honors geo and they say theyâre failing. The subject isnât even that hard either, my teacher just doesnât give a fuck about how heâs making us learn. Nobody wants to speak up though.
I had really good grades in high school but my memorization skills are pretty bad. My history teacher used to quiz us on things like the names and locations of all the lakes in Puerto Rico. Iâll be the first to admit that after the first one of these ridiculous quizzes I just started cheating on them. Sat next to the valedictorian and copied her answers. Pretty sure my history teacher knew too and just never called me out on it cause I was a good student otherwise.
I mean, it aint your fault. Why would you possibly need to learn the lakes in puerto rico?
@@zeppelin6125 Exactly

Haha đ because I live there.
@@iforgor5167 itâs was more like hereâs a map of the island mark an x where the lake is and write the name
if homework and formative assessments count, then I definitely copied whole pages of computations and shared answers with the whole class. I never really did find a convenient way to cheat quizzes and exams where the testers watch you like a hawk, always felt like cheating here is not worth the risk of getting a 0.
Schools only really care about students getting good grades, not about whether or not you learn the material
True, true, couldn't be any more truerđą
Especially when teachers only give you an A just to give you an A
While I am not arguing that the number has gone up, I feel like there is something to be said for the fact that you are asking people at different times. Put it this way: if you, a hypothetical 20 year old with your first good job, are approached by a scientist asking you to answer the question "did you cheat I high-school?" with the promise of total anonymity, then you are probably going to admit that, yes, you did. However, if the same hypothetical 20 year old was asked the same question in 1940, they may have a very different answer. The consequences are so different. If your boss finds out now, you get a slap on the wrist. Back then, perhaps you would be fired.
This is like saying that the rate of couples cheating on their SO's has gone up since 1940. Yes, it definitely has, but it's really difficult to gage how much because the consequences are so very different for the same action, that many people may have just lied back then to save their own skins.
Well said
@One eyed ferret with mange again, not arguing that the number has gone up, just that there are a heck of a lot of factors going into this
@Stars Tea yeah that is very true and is probably why the number has gone up
I think the real issue is teachers (or the school they work in) reusing the same test over and over again.
The difference may also be that people are being way more honest now when compared to the earlier students.
Hey manâŠlike my middle coach said with a straight face..
âIf you ainât cheatin, you ainât tryin boah. Bein a cheater in life proves you know what you want. Itâs called workin around the system, and takin advantage of the opportunity.â
And that is a real quote.. but personally I donât cheat..THAT MUCHâŠbut yeah.
Because the education system and society judges students based on the grades than on the knowledge they acquire!!
Also my school punishes everyone, not just the cheaters themselves so even though I myself do not cheat, itâs very tempting to because Iâm receiving the same treatment as cheaters. Like on a physics test some kids that had a different teacher cheated during the test, so the entire physics department just made every test after that much harder and over concepts they didnât cover in class
As my great research teacher taught me
Regular kids: suck at cheating
Honors kids: decent at cheating
AP Kids: insanely good at cheating
Thatâs right boys. Yâall will never catch me.
Literally everyone on your list is atleast decent at cheating
Step 1.) Get bad eyes
Step 2.) Get glasses
Step 3.) Get two microfiber cloths to clean the glasses
Step 4.) Right the answers on one and look at them during the test. If anyone asks pull out the one without writing
What does AP mean?
Im not American..
I actually cheated in this English language test once and it helped me understand how to answer the specific style of question that my teachers didn't really go through. When it came to the real test I went from a B to an A* without cheating. Yeh obviously cheating is bad but guess it helps sometimes lol.
This is why school is worse than prison
Some say its dumb but the fact that a lot of student actually cheated without getting caught is actually pretty smart on its own. I mean I gotta be honest with you I cheated a lot of times in my exams, and not a single teacher noticed it.
This just show how bad the system is, its that bad the student resort in to cheating just to get a high grade.
I had a highschool teacher that encouraged us to use our creativity to cheat. He was very observative, and said that if you could pass through his watch, you deserved to cheat.
@@zeta1593 wow, i also had that kind of teacher too. He told us not to bombare our brains with information that we don't understand. Instead, just go cheat. Ever watch Bad Genius movie? Pretty much that's how we try to cheat
@@zeta1593 damn at least there are some teachers who know how wacky the education system is and lets their student cheat instead of letting their students' brain rot every exam
@@randooo22 yeah, but he was my french (my main langage) and philosophy teacher, so you can't really cheat at an essay (he let us to take it at home and even auto-correct) or at a text explanation
@@zeta1593 đđ ohh I see
Can Confirm I cheated throughout all of high school. Got into a decent college and bless them for not making the SAT mandatory. Made high school so much easier since I rarely studied. Fake it till you make it đ
Bruhhh i graduated high school in 2019. It's safe to say that all of my classmates are liars. (Im in special edu class, meaning a class solely for high grade student) We were all aware that we snitch notes in the test room. However, no one is going to say anything. Why? Cuz the majority of the teachers at my school are still stuck in the past. You didn't pass the exam? Prepare to be embarrassed because they'll pick on you even if it's not their issue.
Imagine having enough balls to admit to cheating while attending Harvard
Everyone is cheating, everywhere, always. There's a handful of people/situations where you can be honest and true, the rest is too risky. You either play or get played.
They REALLY should focus more on the student's mental health
That's dam true
Youâre god damn right
@One eyed ferret with mange Okay, but that doesn't mean its right
@One eyed ferret with mangeYouâre right, school isnât a therapy session. Itâs the problem. đ€Šââïž
@One eyed ferret with mange
You just made me reflect on my life
Used to cheat a lot too even tho I was already getting A's and B's everywhere after grade 10. I just liked having the answers if I ever forgot them in a test or the test was just about memorising.
Another possible reason is that a lot of high school teachers arenât qualified to teach. In earlier days, HS teachers were better prepared and paid leading to overall better teaching, especially with easier concepts to teach.
But todayâs teachers arenât paid well, prepared, and have harder concepts to teach for students to prepare for state tests. And when teachers arenât able to teach, a lot of students resort to cheating.
At my middle school, they had a shortage of teachers so they had one of the school nurses become a teacher. And another teacher wasnât paid enough so lived in a car, even though I was at the second largest school in my state.
I cheated my way through 7 ap classes throughout high school . I would get information about the tests for all of the ap classes I had later in the day by trading the knowledge of the tests for ap classes that were earlier in the day for me. Also the teachers not changing the exams yearly and having upper classman friends who gave me their old exams helped too. On the ap tests I did fine, got 5s on all of them except for a 4 on ap chem.
Itâs almost weird to not cheat in anything at this point
true
Shit i don't cheat and my gpa is high but i still think cheating rn is understandable. Well the problem is that school doesn't seem to think that failure is part of learning. Why couldn't they allow multiple retakes of quizes? There are times where I just want to read books and understand the concept or equation, but the problem is that there are quizes of thet lessons that are due the next 3 days, so in the end, I only skim through the book, and ended up not grasping the whole concept, I still scored high but where tf is learning in that. I had this one friend who is really behind on concepts and stuff. We are already in college but he still has a hard time solving basic calculus and algebra. I asked him about this stuff, and apparently their high school didn't teach them shit. He was a good classmate, eager to learn, when I teach him. And the problematic thing is that the school doesn't seem to care abt these ppl. It was scary thinking about it in his shoes, how he must have felt left out. Yea so therefore school is shit, I would still encourage you to go to school, but it doesn't change the fact that school is shit.
I understand ur friend. When I had started high school last year, we were learning algebra. The problem is, my middle school never taught me ANY of that, leading to be being behind and the math teacher never pointed me in the direction to get help. Hopefully now I can learn as a 10th grader, and I've heard good things about my new math teacher. Best of luck to all of you.
That's so true. I never promoted cheating and I have never done it by myself and yet has scored pretty high scores. And I totally relate to you! I have experienced that shit when you just have to got through the damn book just to get good scores and despite knowing what you want to read and what you want to explore more, you are forced to "excel" in everything by school.
Multiple retakes for quizzes SHOULD be a thing! Sometimes you are just not confident enough (or maybe you ended up scrolling deep through a sub topic you really enjoyed and forgot to read the rest thing, like me lol), retaking quizzes actually help me in building self confidence. Idk education system and schools are just shit. The only thing I like is that it makes you disciplined and keeps you in a routine. Other wise, it's meh.
I agree. Schools too focused on memorization. They don't really care about the actual learning experience of the students. We really need to change the System. It's still happening almost everywhere in almost every country on earth.
@@wedoliveinasocietydowenot I'm in the exact same situation, my old middle school was literally the worst teachers didn't care. and the exam was literally just testing memory đ I'd ask the top student to explain something to me and he'd just state the same statement that is in the book. It also didn't help that the teachers were speaking a different language for most of the classes. Now in 10th grade, I'm lagging behind with math and physics just because they didn't help me with the basics. So now I have this incredible pressure on me to catch up and even surpass my classmates because of my parents' expectations. But oh well here I am. Good luck đ
I'm kinda the same. I never cheated and still got high scores because my short term memory retention is pretty decent. Of course, after I'm done with answering the questions, I just forget all about it unless I really want to learn the concept. However, I will admit that ever since the start to online classes, I started cheating. I really can't help it. As much as I want to actually learn and answered honestly, I just have no time. For example, I have 28 units this semester, 9 subjects and 1 synchronous classes per subject every week. Meaning, we are only given an hour per week to be taught lessons. If they don't finished the discussion in an hour then we would have to learn it by ourselves then the next week, we will proceed with a new lesson. Now, I'm fine with self study. The thing though is the activities. There were at least 8 activities per subjects that is needed to be submitted every Saturday, midnight. And since, I am living with my parents, of course my day just now consist of me sitting in front of my laptop and doing school work. I still have to do chores. When exactly, do I have the time to study? Then there is the pressure to produce good results. To be honest, my mental health just went crashing down because of online classes.
At this point of life they have a right to cheat because of this unfair bullcrap
Yeh it's true our topper gang just takes our marks to another level just by helping each other in exam and we crush others clases result đ đ€Ł
I mean, if a student manages to cheat without being noticed by a strict teacher on watch. I would give that student a medal for discovering a way that, that school should prevent.
I never cheated in high school, but in college, I chose to cheat in unimportant subjects that I need to pass, but in subjects that I can really learn a lot from and I need to master, I never cheat.
I soo fuckin agree with this, I'm in 12th Grade and I dare not to cheat on subjects that I really need to learn from, that would be general biology and physics. I feel like other subjects are just time consuming, I tend to cheat on those subs to lessen the time and pass my tasks asap, though if I were to have enough spare time I'd give it full attention and learn.
@@glaucous3215 True. Sometimes the school system can be oppressive for making us learn things we don't need. It doesn't make you bad. You just need to do certain things to stay afloat and survive considering the time you have. Life isn't all about studying after all. You also need some time to play. Just make sure you aren't caught. Hahaha.
Im not gonna spend hours remembering biology when i want to became a office worker
I'm not gonna remember all the damn geometry crap when I become a lawyer, honestly some of the classes we HAVE to take just make. no sense.
student: im stressed why cant i just go home and take a break
teacher: take a break? its only been 5 hours
In my experience the regular kids tried to cheat, the advanced kids were good at cheating and the AP kids excelled at cheating.
ADMITTING to cheating, what if most are still hiding it in scars theyâd have to redo test or something?
I cheated on my high school finals, my life was falling apart, I had no motivation to continue school and was failing every class. So yeah my only option was to cheat the hardest exams the UK released in 5 years or end up having no qualifications.
I kinda started questioning the education system once I got older bc the stuff they were teaching and their methods were questionable. I hate how everyone is like "If you study hard and get A's you'll have a successful life!!!".
This is going to be long, and these are only my thought but to anyone whos reading this:
Good grades are inferior to passions, dreams, and that will to never stop learning (not school stuff in general). Many people who have changed the world (like Einstein) didn't do well at all in school. I'm not saying that school subjects are bad, but don't blindly believe that school will lead you to a successful life, you lead yourself to a successful life.
I'm tried of seeing people cry and get devastated over the fact they don't get A's. Shouldn't we question the thing that we put our futures in?
Also, this is coming from a B-A student, so this isn't just because I don't get good grades.
As Einstein once said:
"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."
Good luck everyone! Remember that this is only my opinion and you shouldn't change your entire way of thinking. Just give it a thought for yourself :)
I feel like if students just were allowed to get more sleep in then we wouldn't be having as much of a cheating issue.
The most effective way to cheat is said to do it boldly, which's like the student in the first seat in front of the platform is hardest to see.
can confirm i sit in the smack middle front, they look at the back and ignore me just googling shit lmao
"students nowadays are cheating more than expected"
Haha, come to my school and see the math teacher, she makes the tests easy but somehow without anyone to cheat đ
It feels like their giving us even more than triple than what they would give us in face to face, It's like the school thinks since we use our computers more commonly now they think we can finish assignments just as fast as one
I think thereâs a disconnect between what cheating is. Iâve used resources I wasnât supposed to on homeworks or even some take home quiz grades/online assignments, but never gone out of my way to cheat during an exam. If someone asked me have I ever cheated in school, Iâd say yes, but Iâd say thereâs a clear difference from someone who cheats instead of studying.
I went to an early college high school. They only accepted 100 students per year and the admissions process was hard. My class (c/o 2012) were the very first 9-12 graders at the school. We had to juggle high school and actual college classes at the same time. It wasnât necessarily âhardâ but we were all expected to overachieve. We cheated and helped each other a lot! By the time my class graduated we only had 60 students. The others left because they couldnât take the pressure. I remember in chemistry we finished the entire text book ahead of the district. Several of our teachers were more than just people who majored in a subject and decided to become a teacher. They were actual heavyweights in their fields. Some of them even helped write the textbooks. It was stressful sometimes but I appreciate my education. Especially when I see people learning not even a fraction of what I got to learn.
What highschool
I agree to this 100%. Today we had biology exam and the invigilator took a step out for a moment. The whole exam hall was silent when she was inside, but as soon as everyone saw she went a little further away, everyone started 'whispering' loudly. And when I say loudly, I mean the whole corridor could her it. The invigilator came back running and the class went back to silence. Istg the teacher's face was priceless. đđđ
Cheating isn't bad if you look online for an answer and try to understand how the answer was gotten
Even if you cheated, you learned how to get to a result better
Of course, most who cheat don't try to learn and understand it
Or you can look at your mistakes and word harder on them, making your life much easier.
Aight hear me out. Cheating requires a lot more thinking and brain power than remembering stuff. And this is coming from a guy who loves maths and physics
i also love math,or i used to do,but since im now in algebra i see it kind of useless ngl like i feel that it wont help me even a bit and using my brain will be better
once i was triying to find the angle of an acute angle, i needed to do a formula to find it and i didnt remember i asked my mom and instead of doing a formula or triying to put a ramdom thing she legit just putted her fingers and said âthats around 32â she was right,she didnt need a formula or tho even try to remember she just used her brain,and a lot of things in algebra are just the same i can do but with harder and unnecesary steps
I usually somewhat cheat on most of my tests. I don't look for the answer. I just check if I'm using the correct equation or formula. Shit is hard to remember, and I know how to do it, I just don't remember the formula

Cheating is the most useful skill school teaches you
I mean, parents now are very pressuring. I'm a model student, I once googled the answer on google but still keeps my first answer before I googled. The answer I submitted is wrong tho.
Letâs be real here, all of us here have cheated on a test before and this is a problem, the current school system is one of the most heavily flawed and senseless system in the world. Kids cheated on tests because the society nowadays value grades that they got from answering stupid questions that we NEVER EVER need in the actual life than the well-being and actual knowledge of a student, who were forced by the society to waste away their greatness, which is both horrible and stupid. Now Iâm not saying this because Iâm a failing student, Iâm an average student and I say this because itâs the truth, the learning system nowadays is literally the same as it was hundreds of years ago and things like strict dress-code and use of technology are still around, which is utterly nonsense.
I agree with you, everything as changed in our world from centuries ago except for school. I am a top grade student with around a 3.8 GPA and have to say that I have cheated before (especially during online classes) and that this school system shouldn't value grades as much as it does right now. They should value on what the kids want to do in their life instead of doing the easy thing of teaching the same thing to every student.
The problem you have is that you still cheated.
You can work hard enough and nail your tests and then have a great life growing up.

In real life, you have to take advantage of the tools and resources at your disposal. If a teacher arbitrarily decides that's cheating, they're not doing their job which is supposed to be to prepare students for life in the real world. That's what my chemistry professor in college said when he explained to me why he wasn't gonna fail me for programming my calculator "illegally".
wait what, what tool did you use to program your calculator, I need this in life.
@@PerciseGunplay ndless. It's a custom software package for the ti n-spire. You can install a .pdf reader. I uploaded the chapters of my chem textbook that we covered, bookmarked the pages that were relevant and could ctrl + f for any eq's I needed but couldn't remember. He argued that since he allowed any calculator on the test and never specified anything about notes on the calculator, and since I only brought supplies I was allowed to bring, I wasn't breaking any rules he had established. He did change the syllabus the next term though.
The rabbit-hole for programming ti n-spires is basically bottomless. I have the CAS version so I also set it up to turn CAS on and off depending on if it was legal for an exam or not. Or just to make it look like CAS was off. but most of the calculus I do at this point, even though it's easier with CAS, is almost more work to program into a calculator than to just run it on paper. Especially since I often need to do step-by-step proofs for assignments I turn in.
@@Andernol thanks bro I needed that!
@@PerciseGunplayyou can store notes in programs and some apps like the periodic table app could help in tests. If your teacher makes you clear your calculator, you can archive the notes program so that clearing ram doesn't erase it

At this point, you need good memory, which I donât have, to pass school. One of my friends who has good memory tells me that he doesnât study and gets good grades but I have to at least study for a long time to at least understand or remember something simple and I barely get good grades
Having a cheat sheet or just using internet for exams should be allowed, knowing where to find the sources to know an answer is way more valuable than just memorizing a fact or a formula

I have to admit, I do cheat. I have my own secret code that I use to write in my diaries; not even my parents can depict it. I use it to write down the answers on my desk. The secret codes are pictures like monkeys, playgrounds, clouds, Saturn etc, for each number and alphabet. The teachers just joke around how I seem to love doodling. I know it's very shameful of me to do this, but I just wanted to admit :(

Not related to the subject of cheating, but this video reminded me of the time I was talking about state tests to my mom. She informed me that even a lot of teachers are on board with just doing away with them. The reason is that bright students may not perform well under pressure/time limit.
