Ethics

[Carlee10]

I probably would ask for help, if this ever applied to me, partly because I don't consider this to reallt be cheating. If we failed that badly, that means we (as a class) just plain didn't understand the material, and in alot of advanced courses, material builds upon what you've already learned. I wouldn't give people answers, but I would show them how to do a certain type of problem, or where to find the answer in the book if it was obscure. This is disregarding all of the curve stuff that has been mentioned because in high school, curves and wrecking them and "weed out courses" don't really apply. I'm a person who learns from asking questions, and if I've already failed a test, that clearly means I need more than a book to help me. In high school, its different than college, but still is kinda similar. If you're having trouble with a subject, teachers expect you to get help. About the moral side of it, most teachers kinda know that kids will ask for help, especially if its already open book, because you already have the answers. Its not exactly the same as having answers on your hand or in your pocket and using them during class on a big exam. I don't cheat, and have never done it or never will do it, but I don't consider this cheating. Feel free to disagree with me, because I know that many have posted pretty much the opposite.
