<p>Maybe get him to brag in front of someone you know will tell?? that way, he gets caught but you’re not telling</p>
<p>Ugh.
My advice would be (of course I don’t know what your teachers are like…)</p>
<p>a.) Try talking to a different teacher about what is going on. Do not name any names, and don’t even allude to the fact that the student in question is your friend. Just explain the situation as objectively as possible, and ask the teacher what he or she thinks you should do.</p>
<p>b.) If you do decide that reporting the student is the best thing to do, then I would use a similar approach to the one I wrote about above. Although, in this scenario of course, you would reveal the student’s identity. You can FULLY explain the situation and be able to convey to the teacher what a difficult place you are in, and ask for any advice that they have for you. (By the way, if the student has cheated in another class, you might want to go to that teacher and explain the situation. Therefore, more than one teacher would be alerted to the situation at hand, and if you spoke in a more general manner about the offenses, then it would be impossible for the student to discover who had revealed the information.)</p>
<p>All I can say is that it is really nice to see that at least some other students do not cheat, as with the exception of one or two of my close friends, everyone in my 550 person class seems to depend on cheating as a method of academic survival. I’m really tired of these people receiving the advantages, as I can HONESTLY say that I have never cheated.</p>
<p>Just a quick example…
In my AP World History class, we were assigned a 100 page packet that had multiple diagrams and charts on each page. (It was due two weeks after we received it) I worked on it for multiple hours every night for the 14 day period that we were given, and only made it about 3/4 of the way through. I walked into class and was not only exhausted from all of the late nights, but also incredibly distraught, because I had found out on the day before the assignment was due that all four ap world history classes were involved in a huge cheating scandal. Only myself, and three of my friends, did not copy any other students’ packets. Every single person, with the exception to the four of us, had copied other students’ work. Cheating is widespread at our school, and I can’t wait to go to a college where no one cheats!</p>
<p>Man I don’t even know why I’m replying seriously, but please don’t.</p>
<p>Stop worrying about what he does, it’s not negatively impacting you in any reasonable way other than the fact that you’re getting frustrated, in which case, stop…</p>
<p>I’ll put out the cliche and say that ultimately it’s all for self-gain, long-term skills, personal evaluation, etc; if he copies and gets the grade, that’s the grade; he ultimately didn’t garner the skills, experience, and knowledge from the project. You (I’m assuming) did. He got a higher grade…and?</p>
<p>Dude…don’t do it. You’re going to screw up his whole life. There’s something called karma. If he really isn’t a good person, eventually he’ll get what he’s got coming to him.</p>
<p>Is he actually your friend?
Because if he is. There is no doubt you SHOULD NOT rat him out.</p>
<p>Who the hell rats out on friends.</p>
<p>sit down and talk to him</p>
<p>Don’t rat.</p>
<p>Don’t try to knock him out because you’re jealous. If you legitimately feel it’s morally wrong, then fine, do it. Turn him in. But if it’s because you’re competing with him…that is not the right reason.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Way to misunderstand karma!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha. You know what I’m trying to say, I didn’t mean to offend you if you believe in Hinduism. That’s just how I’ve always referred to it</p>
<p>Maybe the snitching is his karma.</p>
<p>Albeit a distorted version.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s ok, I was just joking! I don’t get offended very easily. I am Jain, though. Karma is…complicated, though, and I don’t think that, even in “practical application”, it’s ever quite THAT direct.</p>
<p>I didnt read anything but the OP post. YOUR GOING TO SNITCH ON YOUR FRIEND…that’s a ***** move. I wouldn’t do that to someone who wasn’t my friend, I wouldn’t do that to someone I hated.</p>
<p>I would do it to someone I hated… but anyway I would follow one of the above poster’s posts and just talk to him. If he is your friend, he will listen to what you have to say. There must be a reason for his cheating, and it would be helpful to both of you to find it out.</p>
<p>I made my decision. Im not going to rat on him. And thanks to all with very helpful advice. Those of you who said something along the lines of “you’re a ■■■■■”, or “take the stick outta your ass, you’re an awful friend” please don’t bother replying to my question next time, it really does not help in any way at all. </p>
<p>And people that keep questioning my friendship with him? It’s been getting really rocky these past months, simple as that. I think we’re finally making amends but, yes, it’s been quite a rough ride.</p>
<p>Again, thanks to all who provided me helpful advice!</p>
<p>I hope everything works out for the best! (for you and your friend)
:)</p>
<p>Lol I know someone who’s cheated on pretty much every test in high school. He cheated his way into college. He somehow gets all the answers beforehand, in certain classes, and even sells copies to others. I have no idea how he does it. He pretty much cheated his way out of high school.
Cheating increased his class rank from about 70 (freshman year) to 9 junior year lollzzz.</p>
<p>the question is…if there’s a real ******* at your school, and you know he’s going to be cheating and how at a particular time (ie the final)…should you put an anonymous note letting the admin know?</p>
<p>I personally think you should write a letter to one of the teachers and then ask your friend’s source for a copy of the same essay they wrote (with the grade on it) and then stick the note on it without your name explaining the problem… then your friend will not know who turned him in therefore keeping you out of your friend’s rage. Don’t be afraid to do it he deserves it for bragging… And if he cheats on a final you better turn his @$$ in… or karma will get you too!</p>
<p>Good decision, but seriously…just tell him to shut the **** up and that you don’t give a **** when he starts bragging.</p>
<p>if he’s getting the projects from senior friends, then obviously they know about his cheating as well. so, if you DO tattle on him, you’re not the ONLY suspect.</p>
<p>but i’m happy that you’re not taking this matter into your own hands. let karma deal with him (:</p>
