    As a horrible student, I find doing it until you know what you're doing is the best principle. Then cheat on all the busywork teachers assign just to bulk up the lesson.

      I had a similar perspective when I was in highschool. Felt like I was better than the.whole thing and didn't try because of that. Which I regret now because I've had to work so hard in college to get into better schools.

      @Csellite -

      Funnily enough, I was honest enough in high school; it's only when I went into trade school that I started this.

      I mean, I will only do so many business head letters for examples. Doing 10 types of unique letters three times is ridiculous when you got it the first time around. Plus the time constraint put on you for all the work. After a while, when you realize quality doesn't matter, and no one cares what you do as long as you pass the certifications, integrity flies out the window.

      Wow, looking back on this, I sound terribly jaded. But it's pretty much the norm for my trade school in its OA classes.
