<p>High five to you too bigwill.
I had a conversation recently with a couple of '10-ers and we all agreed: we had seen some blatent cheating, but we wouldn’t have been able to live with ourselves had we reported it. Some of the individuals have very, very bright/lucrative careers beginning…it’s tough to wonder if they got there because of the cheating or that they shouldn’t have because of the cheating. In the end, most everyone agrees, cheating on one test means you fell behind and tried to find a solution to the problem rather than falter. It’s dumb to send someone on the torturous rollercoaster the Honor Court is and then possibly ruin their lives. It’s WAY easier (and lots of us, including myself, have done this) to talk to the person and say “hey, I know you cheated hardcore, that isn’t cool, do your work next time”. Alumni and outsiders can think what they want, but this goes back to my age old saying: Every Hoo loves another Hoo…we stand by one another and we want each other to succeed.</p>
