At an English university you would be considered total filth by the rest of the student body if you ratted someone out like that. The ratting would be seen as a lot lot worse than the cheating. [/ QUOTE ] I would much rather be friends with a cheat than a rat anyday of the week. |

I went to Princeton and there was a good amount of cheating. I would never rat anyone out although it is frustrating to witness, especially when its obvious that their behavior will never "catch up to them."
Just make peace with your own choices and don't worry about things you can't control. |

I do have to say though that if the dude was bragging about cheating he deserves to get caught. I mean anyone that really cheats knows that the student next to them catching them is about as bad as the teacher catching them.
I may be against ratting but at the same time I agree that you have to do what you have to do. If turning him in will for sure help your score then do it if you need that grade. Do what you gotta do, to achieve whatever your goal is. I may be embodying everything that is wrong in America but I now have a good job lined up and my wife will be able to be a stay-at-home mom. So I have no regrets. |

Tell the teacher. Screw that guy. And screw the mafia-wannabe attitude on many in this thread (I ain't no stoolie). This guy isn't your pal. Besides the fact you busted your ass all semester, you said it yourself - he can actually hurt you with his cheating.
P.S. I'm badmouthing the attitude. Personally I'm sure you're all charming and wonderful. |

At my school your life is basically ruined if you are caught cheating... do you really want to ruin someone's life just so you can be _sure_ that you get an A?

[/ QUOTE ] Do you really want to risk not getting an A because some douche decided to cheat? The cheater has already voluntarily assumed the risk of getting his school career ruined when he decided to cheat. Why should those around him feel compelled to assume any risk to protect his lazy ass? |

If people would bother to read what the man said, they'd notice his grades cannot be hurt by the "possible" cheater. Your case is pretty weak and there's no reason to rat this guy out.
