Subject: Is this considered cheating? (School)

Don't litter, or God will rip your face off and feed it to a goat.

I have a teacher that will give me good grades, usually A's, just because he knows im one of the "better" students in the class. I'm not a GREAT student, I'm just not lazy like the whole of my class. Most of them are lucky to get a B. I started to notice that even if i put the wrong answer, or a partial answer on a quiz or test, I'd get full points for it. I never tell this teacher that i wrote the wrong thing, but should I?

''Hell is other people.''

If you really want to. Otherwise, I'd keep my mouth shut and keep those A's.

Ah, the internet. Where men are men, women are men, and children are the FBI.

Dont mention it to anyone. If you bring it up to the teacher, he might stop. If you bring it up to someone in the class, they might bring it up to the teacher. In the end, you lose.

It's dishonest and unfair but it's your teacher's discretion. Just be aware that you don't deserve the grade you have, even though you may appear to work harder than other students.

I would be honest about it. A wrong answer should be marked as a wrong answer.

  • 12.11.2012 6:44 PM PDT

That would be very honorable of you if you did

I have the same issue in my pre-cal/trig class. I think that it's fine.

Err, a similar issue.

Dont feel like editing my other post so golden rule here:

Work smarter, not harder.

Deal with it.

If you're learning the material there's no real harm to it. However, if you aren't you might want to talk to the teacher so that he knows you are having trouble with the material.

  • 12.11.2012 6:59 PM PDT

心の中に弱い風が吹いています。

If the teacher's giving you the grade I don't think so. Just be happy that you're getting a very easy A.

  • 12.11.2012 6:59 PM PDT

Could be that your teacher is just grading for completion instead of accuracy.

Some teachers grade for completion and/or showing work.

As long as they showed why your answer is wrong, it should be fine.

If you're a zombie and you know it, bite your friends.

The Flood Theory of Deterioration: q(p)=(qi)e^(-p/r)

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

That's up to your teacher to do. So oh well. It's not like you're actually cheating on tests or anything like that. I got good grades without really trying, so that worked out for me.

Uh no.

Do what you gotta do to get an A.

Are you trying to tell us you got on your knees to get good grades?
