A top student in our class was caught cheating on an AP Bio exam - the teacher threatened to give every student a zero on the exam if the person responsible doesn't confess by Friday - everyone knows its her. It is pretty big news amongst most kids as there are tons of seniors taking AP Bio and their grades are all at risk because of her - people are upset. I can understand.
However, I was the only one who expressed any sort of concern or pity - she is in a terrible place right now and the situation could mean tons of colleges revoking her current acceptance or rejecting her come this March. She has cheated in the past - many people have always been upset with her as they think she has unrightfully earned distinctions such as VP of NHS and a place in the top 10 students when she has always cheated in every class. I was talking to one girl who was nearly foaming at the mouth, hoping, praying, that she confesses and it all blows up in her face and she ends up getting rejected/rescinded everywhere.
I kinda just feel bad for everyone involved. Including the girl.
How do you feel about cheaters? Do you have any sympathy or do they often deserve their fate?
