It also annoys me when people don't read the material.

Funny (I think) story: My friend asked our AP English teacher to write him a reccommendation for college. She said she would, then he said "Don't write anything bad!" She said, "Oh, I don't write bad recs. I guess the one unique thing I can say about you is that you are one of the few students who has actually read all the books and enjoyed them." At this, my friend had to choke back a laugh and start coughing into his hand, because he hadn't read a single book all year! He's really good at BSing. Now, the reason I find this amusing? It's the one good thing my teacher could thing of to say about him, and it isn't even true! I find that somewhat vindicating.

At my friend's school, in one of her classes, this really smart guy takes his test, and then the entire class passes their tests to him and he takes their test for them, no joke.

NYU looks really nice, but I live like right by it. I want to stay in New York, but I don't want to stay *so* close.

Eh, I'm okay in all subjects. Like, I understand them, I'm just not motivated to do all the stupid busywork they assign in high school.

Penn is kind of my dream grad school, but unless I'm lucky enough to get a major paper published as an undergrad, there's no point in even applying.

I don't think I've ever cheated on anything (except maybe comparing homework answers). Even if I weren't morally against it, I'd be beyond petrified of getting caught. I'm a wimp at heart, I guess.

Wow you guys have to have a lot of qualifications to get into university. I just needed a 75 average, and a high school diploma.

I have no major. But I'm 15, so it's not that big a deal yet.

I really want to write. Or, unusually, cast or edit movies. No idea why.

Same here. Despite the occasional cheating incidents, my high school was very very tough on plagiarism, and any instance of not properly citing a source on an assignment could be big trouble.

Snowbird, a lot of it depends on what kind of university someone is looking for. There are a lot of state schools and other public colleges that accept most of the students who apply.

I picked the wrong major. I'm in history, which I love, but I'm not good at writing essays. So, now I'm just trying to finish up this degree, so I can then go to a college for the program I should've been in all along.

When I was in high school I got so angry when people cheater, and still get mad about it. I don't care if yo uare "too stupid' to do it on your own...learn how! The people who don't cheat should get higher grades that stupid people like you who can't get good grades without cheating. I wish all teachers would find out about it and punish their students harshly for it. Just like colleges would.

I had this horrible incident in the 8th grade in terms of cheating. One day I got to school and found out my french teacher wanted to see me and this other girl in my class. Turns out this girl had glanced at my paper to catch the date because she couldn't remember it and because she saw my name written on my paper, instead of writing her name on her paper, she unconsciously wrote mine. I had no clue and of course was really confused. My teacher didn't make a big deal out of it because we were both such good students, but still, it was not the most pleasant situation.

I only cheated once- it was multiple choice and not a big test, but I felt really guilty.

I love writing essays for tests- that's where I pick up all the extra points. *hugs Biology, English, and Global finals*

I've only cheated once. In Grade 9 English, the back row passed our tests around and others filled in the answers we didn't. Our teacher was pretty stupid to not notice first off all, all of us talking and then that the answers were written differently. It was a quiz so it didn't count for much.

I've always hated in-class essays. I never feel like there's enough time for me to gather up all of my thoughts and say everything I want to say, it's a lot harder to go back and edit while writing, and I'm always afraid I'll lose points because the teacher has a hard time reading my atrocious handwriting.

I think teachers are far more lenient on grading in-class essays, though.

You know, when people call me D_I, it looks like they're making an unhappy face. That's saddening.

And that comment right there shows me how much I need to get to bed early tonight. Thanks for the invitation, Chloe. I don't really have any questions- it just looks like something I'd maybe be interested in, considering the fact I have many ideas of how to change every movie I see. Maybe I'm just obsessive like that.

I was the MASTER of in-class essays, although I got that way after a semester of failing most of the essays I wrote for AP English (along with the rest of the class). It was by far the hardest I've worked in any class (including college ones) for a B-. We'd write about two in-class essays a week (ridiculous), but by the second semester I could write a well-developed five-page paper in an hour. I've been away from the English/history spectrum for so long now that I can't do that anymore, though. It's so hard to adjust to science and not being able to write fluff and make things sound pretty... everything has to be supported by those pesky facts.
