you're radicalized against the system
the system is not rigged, going to college at all is a privilege that many don't get
i can't imagine trying to justify cheating with this logic while simultaneously there are more honorable people scavenging their lunch from the trash
i get it though, online school that resulted from covid is some of the worst instruction. fortunately that's coming to an end

- jagged-chisel 4y agoIndeed. But that’s not how it’s presented to high schoolers. Parents, secondary school administrators, and post-secondary school employees are all complicit.
- Spooky23 4y agoI’m went to school at a time where everything was curved. In that environment, you had to fight for every GPA point and were at a disadvantage of you were a stickler for academic integrity. In a 500 person lecture, ~25 were getting a 4. It’s easy to be on a high horse at an Ivy school, where people who don’t show get gentleman’s Cs and the average GPA is like a 3.6. Obviously this situation in the article wasn’t that. But I think the professor did a good job of empathizing with the students and accepting that there are varying types of motivations.
