Re: Ethics
I appreciate all the responses. I know what I believe to be the right thing. I haven't helped a single person. I've encouraged others to do the same. That being said, some are still cheating. Actually more then some, but that's not the point. I understand the reasoning the teacher is doing this, to give everyone a chance of passing...However to me this seems like a communist approach. If you do well on the test, you pass. If you don't do well, you still pass.
My note to high school seniors: Set up a code early and stick to it. If you feel cheating is ok, thats fine. Go ahead, you probably won't regret it later. If you feel like cheating is wrong, you will regret it. No matter the circumstance, you will. This, as with everything, is a personal decision...where do you place importance? Think about it. Personally, I'd rather settle for an honest F then a shady A. Good luck to all, for sticking with your own code.
