I don’t like hypocrites and I don’t like cheaters. The guy is wrong for constantly cheating as well as wrong for reporting people for doing something that he practices often, however, your actions and the actions of your classmates also happened to be an ethical gray area.

Think of it this way; if you have any type of issue with walking up to your teacher right before the quiz and saying “Joe from Period 2 told me that we only needed to review these words for today’s quiz… is he right?” - then something is wrong. I don’t know if that makes sense - but basically, if you wouldn’t openly admit what you were doing to your teacher, it probably shouldn’t be done.

My teacher last year for AP World explicitly told us that discussing the test with other classes, regardless of how general our discussions were, was to be considered academic dishonesty.

I’m not trying to condemn you and I’m in no way perfect either - I can be down right awful at times, its just, idk. Cheating and stealing are two things that make me feel really icky.
