Should we feel guilty for cheating in exams? (micro blog)

No. Not. At. All.

Eversince childhood it was coded into my head that cheating in exams in unethical. It was considered morally incorrect. The invigilator constantly kept threatening the students that the paper will get cancelled if one is caught cheating.

But as time went by I got to know that in the real world I was allowed to “cheat”. If I wanted to know something, I could simply Google.

I was fucking surprised that the real world is easier to live in when compared to an examination hall.

What fun do teachers and authorities get in assuming that internet never happened. Is rote learning so important a skill that we have to assume the non existence of Google.

Why does the education system not embrace the internet? It is because the authorities know that if they do so then the internet would completely replace the traditional education system.

Cheating isn’t morally incorrect. The system has made it so for its own sake.

The next time you start writing an examination, write it on the very top
