Do you let people copy off your paper in school?

Question

so i wondering do you copy people paper and do you let people copy off you?

Answer 1

if it's just a homework worksheet or something simple that one of my friends forgot to do, then yeah. on a test or quiz, no.  

Answer 2

I used let people look at mine occasionly if it was something simple and mindless like most worksheets. But now I don't because I'm in honor/AP classes, and our work is hard. I never copied off of other people though.

Answer 3

For 6th and 7th grade i was at a charter school, struggling.

So basically i just said **** it to my homework if i couldn't figure it out i didn't do it. I had an amazing friend lauren and i'll never forget her. If i was missing my work she'd throw me her paper and say "Jenna copy mine, your gunna fail this class!" so i would. Right in time to hand it in. She helped me so much she's the reason i passed.

Then i started attending a public school where i had already learned everything so homework was a breeze for me. So if someone needed my paper, they could have it. So i could help someone pass a class.

I believe its the right thing to do because of all of laurens help.  

Answer 4

not really.

I subtly show them It's not gonna happen. I don't like to cheat on tests. as far as classwork goes, I look at them, hold my book up to their face and point to the page. then they know where to look.

Answer 5

Haha, yess. we copy all the time from each other, like if someone didn't do their work i would let them copy off my paper, or if i didn't do it people would let me copy.  

Answer 6

occasionally depending on the person, it really isn't a big deal to me

i honestly don't feel like i'm breaking my integrity

Answer 7

Depends what kind of situation it is.

I usually don't copy off of people's paper, but I let people copy off of mine sometimes, because I don't like to say no.

Answer 8

I'm in college now, but back in high school, like my freshman year, I was the only freshman in my biology class and everyone else were sophomores, yet I had one kid who'd pay me a dollar for every worksheet I let him copy off.  I myself never cheated though because I never needed to.

And I look at it this way - people shouldn't cheat, but if they do, I might as well profit off of it, and plus any lack of knowledge for them that comes from their cheating is their problem, not mine.  What I do hate though are people who copy without permission.  It's one thing if it's a friend or acquaintance that you're cool with and they're asking for the answers, but I've had kids who sit behind or next to me try to look at my answers and I absolutely hate that.

Answer 9

sure as long as it someone thats nice.

You never know when the day will come when you forgot to study and a person you let copy off you before will let YOU copy this time! It's all about good karma haha

Answer 10

I don't copy people's paper. I'm smart enough without it! I let my friends copy my paper though. I even give them my food at lunch even if I want it. We are like family!

Answer 11

haha umm when im stuck.i have my friends explain it to me..and if their stuck i explain it to them.so not really.

Answer 12

I only copy answers from smart people and only let friends copy off your paper

Answer 13

i let people copy my paper if i like them or are friends with them, if they annoy me or i don't like them then i don't let them copy. i copy people's paper, its like an unspoken rule between most of the people i copy off of, i let them copy a few times off my paper they return the favor when i need it. or i go ask this group of girls that are total kiss ups and they let me copy what ever i want.  

Answer 14

If it is a difficult worksheet or something then yes my friends all work together or we ask around to see if anyone has the right answers. A test/quiz no.  

Answer 15

he ll no i would tell them they should have studied for the test and paid well attention to the teach instead of doing whatever it was that distracted you from your learning. now as far as me copying off of other peoples work that's just wrong I'm a straight a student and the grades i get ain't no work of other people so i wouldn't do it cuz it just wrong

Answer 16

Yeah, as long as they'd be willing to help me.

I'm cool with copying, & cheating.

I actually copied both science exams last year from the girl who sat next to me[Her and I have been good friends for years.], I got her consent first though. & had I not gotten her consent I would not have done it. Like thats my rule, I don't cheat or copy without the other person knowing, and being fine with it.

I'm probably going to get a lot of thumbs down, but at least I'm honest about it.

Answer 17

if im cool with them yea and they let me copy too. but if i dont like them i'll write the wrong answer on purpose so they copy that and then i change it back.

Answer 18

Well 4 test & stuff i usually have the highest score so it would be stupid of me 2 cheat off some1 else. i never intentionally let some1 cheat but 1 time a girl told me that some of test taking habits allow 4 easy cheating (i answer all test question really fast but then i hold the paper and slowly read through each question 1 or 2 times to make sure i am  not being tricked & i answered correctly). after she told me i stop doing this at an angle where she could see my paper. people have asked me for answers but i say I dont know or act like i don't see them.

I would never let someone cheat because people act like people who get good grades were born with some magical ability to be smart; while some people do have a natural inclination towards a particular subject(i am good @ reading, writing & math ) it is hard work to #1 hone your skills (& i have seen people who have the talent to be literal geniuses but not the drive/ determination/ study habits) #2 i have never met any1 who is good @ everything (i have to work very hard to do well in social studies & especially science)

Answer 19

If it was something like a test/quiz, no. If it was a simple homework assignment, then sure. But that's only for the friends I'm closest to, and if we have the same class or not. I usually rely on my own abilities to get through school. It's pointless having other people do the work for you because then you're not learning.

Answer 20

Depends if you agree with CHEATING or not.

Answer 21

i used to always let people copy off my paper but now i copy off others sometimes. 1 of my friends always does her homework and everyone would ask to see her paper and such then she got really mad. i felt the same as her, why spend all night (or morning) doing your homework just so someone can copy

Answer 22

No. But in 6th grade, me and my friends all had the same math teacher. He didn't collect the homework. He would look at it and move on. I had him first period. My friends didn't have him until 4th period. So if I forgot or I didn't do my homework, they'd give me theirs and I would get away with it. Then I would give it back to them during break. Or vice versa.  I feel kind of bad about it now though.

Answer 23

It depends, although I am done school now.  If we were given a paper I would pick a partner and work with them, one person would do half the worksheet and the other would do the other half, then we would copy the answers we didn't have.  If I didn't like the person I wouldn't let them copy, and I would never let anyone copy a whole paper but if they needed a couple answers I would give it to them.  Unless it was a test or quiz.

Answer 24

People copy off me, and most of the time I'll copy off of them. (Just a few questions, not like a whole page or anything.)

Answer 25

I notice that people copy off me, it doesn't bother me normally if it's a one time thing, but people who constantly do it annoy me.  I act like I don't notice and let them go on with it.

Answer 26

i copy alot and let others copy me but then if they get a higher mark than me i think 'oh sh*t :|'

Answer 27

I let them do it if it is something mindless

But if I worked hard on something, and had original answers that I came up with that I'm proud of, I wont let them copy, no matter how much they beg

Answer 28

Sometimes. Depends on what subject, if its math, I let them copy all they want. They will get it wrong and I will laugh. =-D

Answer 29

Yes. I always felt bad, though, you know, because it is cheating. I was the smart kid and always wanted to please everyone, so I had a problem saying "no".  

Answer 30

I let my friends copy, if its someone i dont like i give them the wrong answer =D

Answer 31

i didn't in 6th grade cuz i was a goody too shoes. im a junior and i don't care. i mean its not everyday. i do actually like to learn stuff, ok? its usually just homework, but i've copied my friends english homework at lunch......but that was because my teacher was an idiot and couldn't teach.
