    Sigh. When I was at uni, we actuallly had to study to pass the course. We LEARNT. I pity the next generation who are gonna have doctors and scientists who cheated on the exams. Got cancer? Oops, your doctor cheated on that exam. Guess you just gotta die then.

      I mean, this could have a roundabout benefit of us having to rethink education not as teaching kids to regurgitate facts but maybe as taking a more hands-on approach.

      You learn more from experience anyway so maybe we do need to overhaul our education systems.

        I remember going to a church school in the deep south for 1 year. Guys had to wear long pants and button down shirts. Girls had to wear long skirts or dresses. The rules book still stated clearly that rock and roll was the devil. I have some good memories, but it was definitely a rough time for me.

        A classmate used to lean over and copy my answers and wouldn’t stop when asked. I’m no snitch, but I got sick of it one day, so I added +1 to each answer before I wrote it down. Then after he turned in his test I pretended to check my work and subtracted 1 from everything. Teacher must have been really confused by the guy who was one off on every answer. :D

      Cheaters have always existed. You already know this. Why are you making this stuff up?
