Dear Judged
Cheaters On the LooseDear Your Honor,
Last week I was taking an exam in class and
I noticed that one of my class mates had a bunch of writing on her leg,
just above the line of her skirt hem. She kept pulling up her skirt and
looking at the top of her thigh, then covering it up and writing down
answers. WTF? Should I say something? I mean, if people cheat, it affects
honest students like me. What should I do?

Dear MisterPrenup,
Yeah, well, WTF is right. Except I'm directing the expletive at you.
What are you, in the running for “Brown Nose of the Year” or
somesuch? Seriously, stop looking at your classmates’ skirts and
keep your eyes on the law books. The last thing we need is to add
'lech' to the many, er, attributes of our lawyers.
Everyone who’s ever
been to school knows three things: 1) cheating is not atypical, 2) students
don’t cheat very often, and 3) pretty much everyone cheats at some
point but rarely is anyone caught.
Now, if your Ally
McBeal-type-mini-skirted-aspiring-ambulance-chaser friend decides she wants
to carve up her epidermis with legal notes and dates, that’s her
business. If she’s crazy enough to try, so be it. Plus, those who
cheat egregiously and recklessly will likely be caught at some point in
time. Why get bent over someone else’s inability to learn? And if
your professor is dumb enough not to notice, then we’ve just had
another triumph over ‘the system’. Plenty of successful
lawyers have cheated their way through law school, at least in part, and we
can’t tell them apart from the ones who didn’t cheat. Of
course, we do have one resoundingly stupid “historian”
who’s cheating has been documented since his days at Yale, who
seems—nay is—incapable of learning from history, and now
he’s Leader of the Free World. Or what used to be known as the Free
World.
In short, don’t try to change the world in this petty,
semantic, tattle-tale manner. Everyone has the right to be a
self-righteous prick, but you’ve abused the privilege.
Cheers,
Dear Judged > Archive
The Judge.
