omgosh did you guys hear about the ex bank robber trying to help students cheat in exams? (yes i am slow in news)

it stated that it is cheating if "students prepare essays, memorise them then write it out in the exams"...i thought that was what everyone does...

out of curiousity, did anyone go to this tutoring centre?

and also in the same article it said that 2-3% of students fail by cheating...how would they know you've cheated unless you were dumb enough to copy word for word from BOS

haha but the issue of the tutoring centre is pretty interesting...how the owner of the centre was brought to the attention of officials...

That's considered cheating? What do they want you to do, go into the exam not knowing anything and bullshit through it...? Because if you could call hat cheating, you could call knowing an essay structure that you've prepared cheating, which couldlead to learning quotes being considered cheating...
Ok, maybe I'm just cynical and in a bad mood.
