What ever happened with this? I personally would have let someone know about it. Better the kid is caught and punished now in high school rather than later in college...where you're spending a lot more money. I hate cheaters because they screw stuff up for people who actually work hard for their grades.

The kid who cheated is a speck of dirt on the windshield. Take that recording and anonymously drop it off or give it to the girl he cheated off of.

Good luck loser.

wow, you are so not going to enjoy your stay in a federal prison for "cheating" at life.

You know when the space shuttle columbia blew up? That probably wouldn't have happened if I hadn't copied that kids Microsoft Word homework 5 years ago. God, I'm such a fvck.

I see what you're saying, but 90% of the sh|t I did in college was hardly mission critical knowledge, or even remotely related to my field of study. It was what it was, time consuming sh|t.

Although the kid is a dick, and he probably deserves being taken down a notch, you becoming a rat snitch dickwad to do it isn't worth the price.
He'll get his soon enough.
Life has special things in store for shytbags. Cheating isn't going to help him get any smarter.
Don't be a cvnt, keep it under your hat. You'll be the better man for it.

rather than be a snitch you should try to leverage your knowledge for a profit.*

*leverage your knowledge = blackmail/extortion

nope... a student's performance level is based on how well he does compared to his pears. Cheating screws over everyone else, not to mention the curve (if there is any).

My teacher laughed when I told him to judge me against the pears.

Its not hard to outperform fruit on a math quiz. Pears tend to come unprepared and leave all the questions blank.

I think I can even outscore fruit on a math quiz, and I'm borderline retarded.

I wonder if everyone would be as "anti-snitch" if the OP was talking about a billionaire CEO cooking the books to get more money in his pocket...

I'll never understand why people need to "go tell mommy" or "go call the cops" about every little thing. Maybe you should try talking to him first, that is if you feel like you have to tell on him, at least tell him you think its wrong instead of going behind his back.

Its like those neighbors that call the cops instead of coming over to your house and asking for you to turn down your radio. I would have been happy to ablige, I just didn't know it was up so loud and could be heard so well outside the house. Now I will go out of my way to piss the neighbors off because I know who it was who called.

All I'm saying is, there's a reason why people hate "tattle tells"

Maybe when you grow up a bit you'll understand how completely stupid what you just said really is. Obviously, you're the type to cheat on a test, if you'd condone cheating so vehemently. Perhaps you're just too stupid to do your own work.
