An additional anecdote from high school three years ago (take it with a grain of salt) There was a person in my CS class where we built a virtual computer using Python. Almost weekly I saw her cheating, yet during her spare time she devoted that saved time to a side project that won her an award and some publicity. Starting from then I've learned to focus less on the grade and more on actual projects that are challenging enough that I have to learn.
