there is nothing wrong with cheating at all. it creates fundamental divides between students. first of all, the 'real world' is full of cheating.
there is nothing wrong with copying busy-work, or homework because that take no brain at all. who cares if someone memorized formulas in their heads, or put a sheet of paper of formula's up their sleeves? ITS THE SAME THING!
we intellectually cheat all the time, especially in mathematics and science. not by looking over someone's shoulder or sending a text message. it's because we cheat ourselves and the subject by pretending we understand everything. having a formula in my head is just as easy as putting it up my sleeve. trust me, its easy for anyone. it takes no effort to stick a formula in your head. to know what it truly means is a different story.
suppose the people who actually knew what was going on in their classes used their minds and don't let others copy, then this notion that we seem to hate would not exist. its not the cheaters that don't think smart, its the people who get cheated off of that are stupid. the cheaters have found their way in this world.
secondly, cheating is self-empowerment. a rather quicker method of self empowerment.
ergh got to go. i shall rant later. it was probably incoherent.
