He is probably at home and no one is monitoring him. Anyway, in India, unlike the US, you probably have standards.

Answer 31

here in brazil in one college called ITA, the tests are made in room, and no one cheats, but i think this kind of honesty it's only there.

Answer 32

Well, if you are on OS very much and observe American students, you will see why America is in decline. Most of the young people are willing to lie, cheat, use bad language, sass those who try to help them, and do not care to learn. Just think they should get a good grade and then a good job for not knowing anything,

Answer 33

excuse me sir i am a straight A student and i genuinely do not understand this question . Thus as to why I asked on here. Secondly you were not trying to help me but instead assumed I was cheating all I needed was help in which you have failed to do .
