To Cheat or not to Cheat?

Over the last two days, I have caught five kids cheating in my Accounting class. Some of these kids are good, "God Fearin' children.

Uh, yeah, of course I cheated.

Never met a sin I didn't commit. Well, almost never.

I only cheated on Homework. HOMEWORK should be a sin! I hated it! If I actually did it all myself it would have taken 3-4 hours everynight after school. I knew the material but copied others homework. We took turns on who would get it done so everyone else could copy.

I don't know if I've shared this story here but I share it frequently as it's one of my favorites. If I have, please overlook it.

My freshman year of high school, the very last day of school was my Geography final exam. I had a borderline grade in there, maybe a D, and I knew that the exam could pull me to a C or fail me and have me repeat the class in summer school. I took the test and was beating myself up because of all the answers I knew I'd missed.

Our teacher had the answer key on her desk and allowed students to check their answers after it was finished. While there was commotion going on, I quickly put my scan tron answer sheet beside the answer key and began erasing and making changes. I changed around fifteen answers, thinking it would be good enough to help me out.

Much to my absolute horror, I soon realized that I had changed the answer key's answerst to match mine instead of vice versa. I knew if I fessed up and got a O on my exam, I would probably be in summer school. If I didn't, all the bright hard studiers might fail the test. It was a hard decision. What do you think I did?

I had a Civics teacher in H.S that would leave the room during an exam. On his way out the door, he would say "You can copy answers from your friends or out of the book, but when I come back & see you cheating or others cheating off you.... you flunk."

By the way, a student of mine came by my desk, looked over the top of my monitor to see what I had on there and replied, "You always have that Jewish site up on your screen, even when you are not in the room." I asked, "Jewish site?" He said, "Yeah, Jude 2. Isn't that Jewish?" :shock:

Five is enough to suspect something widespread. Time to make an example if you haven't already done it.

I was like Ilovegcats. I only cheated on homework.

It was the perfect crime because of being the last day of school. We'd never come back together and the students wouldn't have an opportunity to say, "Mrs. Hughes, I really got this right!" and all that weighed on my mind.

I finally decided to confess to the teacher, knowing full well what it meant for my summer. I was so shocked to get my report card in the mail and get a passing grade which meant she must have given me some credit for being truthful. (Lest anyone think me too much of a humanitarian - I had also confessed my sin with a friend in the class who was contemplating spilling the beans himself).

That was the beginning of the end for my cheating.

Thanks for making me laugh out loud. :lol:

Yeah I cheated also in school. Just a couple of times then God thumped my heart. :shock:

I felt soooooooo guilty, that I NEVER did it again.

BTW: What did you do to the kids that cheated in your class?

I cheated but I fessed up to it when I got caught. It was my Senior year and I hated the class I was in and the teacher....a friend let me copy her paper, we had the exact same wrong answer, he knew who copied from who...seeing she was a straight A student and I wasn't. So when he confronted us, I looked that mean teacher in the eye and said..."I'm not going to lie to you teach, I copied off of her, don't punish her for my stupidity." I think he was taken aback that I was honest enough to admit it and didn't take further action. Realized it wasn't worth it after that.

Not that I can remember ever cheating... BUT I don't have the best ......What was I saying? Oh I most likely did...

But the best had to be my ole Buddy Mel. I will never forget going in to take a test and he would give you instructions and then test and start to walk out of the class and say... "If you want to cheat it is all up to you buy the all knowing eye is watching..." Who would have thought a teacher using GUILT...
