13
126400
11280

just a little not the whole  exam only the parts we don't
14
139760
6080
02:25

15
145840
10720
02:36
why i know i know i don't like it  either but come on Lenning tell
16
156560
9600
02:46
me what other choice do we have we  studied we tried but still don't
17
166160
9200
02:55
understand and if we fail this test  we might not pass the course you know
18
175360
10240
03:05
that but how could we even do  it the teacher watches us like a
19
185600
9680
03:15
Hulk he doesn't even let us look at our  own hands you know he's always watching
20
195280
10400
03:25
us well I saw a few videos  online people use some smart ways
21
205680
11200
03:38
one guy wrote notes on the inside of  his water bottle label it was cool  
22
218560
9920
03:48
oh and another girl had answers  on a tiny paper hidden in her
23
228480
6320
03:54
sleeve nobody noticed we could do  something like that it could work
24
234800
10720
04:08
oh and I saw something else uh  some students even use smart
25
248000
6160
04:14
watches or write answers on their  arms with invisible ink there are many
26
254160
9920
04:24
ways invisible ink come on this  is not a spy movie are you serious
27
264080
10720
04:37
hey I'm just saying people are  creative we don't have to go that
28
277440
6480
04:43
far i don't know we could write a  few key points on a paper and hide it
29
283920
11840
04:57
yeah hide it in our pants pocket  or even inside the mask if we wear
30
297440
6560
05:04
one then when the teacher turns around  we take a quick look as simple as
31
304000
9920
05:13
that at first I thought you were  crazy but now I'm curious i mean if  
32
313920
13280
05:27
it's just a few answers it's not  that bad right it's not the big
33
327200
6160
05:33
deal exactly it's not like we  didn't study in fact we studied very
34
333360
10000
05:43
hard we just need help with the  parts we didn't understand and that's
35
343360
9920
05:53
all but what if we get caught  mr dton is strict you know
36
353280
10080
06:03
that and the school rules say that  if you cheat you can get a zero or
37
363360
10000
06:13
words yeah that's the scary  part i'm not saying it's safe i
38
373360
10080
06:23
just don't want to fail i've never  failed a class before i don't want
39
383440
9600
06:33
it me neither i don't want to but  man something doesn't feel right
40
393040
11440
06:46
i remember what my dad told  me once when we talked he
41
406000
6480
06:52
said "If you cheat maybe you'll  pass the exam but you'll fail as a
42
412480
10400
07:02
person." Wow that's deep i don't  know what to say i know he's right
43
422880
9360
07:12
but he also told me doing the right  thing is not always easy but it's always
44
432240
10640
07:22
right that is stuck in my head i think  about it every time I want to take a
45
442880
9840
07:32
shortcut yeah I get it my mom said  something similar she always says "A  
46
452720
13120
07:45
clean heart is better than  a perfect score." She said
47
465840
6400
07:52
that look Carl we may not be 100%  ready for the exam but at least we  
48
472240
9920
08:02
tried we studied we did our best if  we fail we learn from it but if we
49
482160
9840
08:12
cheat and get caught we lose  more than just points we lose
50
492000
10240
08:22
trust and selfrespect you're right i  don't want to live with that feeling
51
502240
12720
08:34
looking at myself in the mirror  and thinking I cheated to
52
514960
5840
08:40
pass i'd rather get a low grade and feel  proud than get a perfect grade and feel
53
520800
10560
08:51
fake you know what let's just go  in tomorrow and do our best yeah  
54
531360
12960
09:04
no tricks no cheating just effort what do you
55
544320
6320
09:10
think deal and maybe if we  both fail at least we fail with
56
550640
10000
09:20
honor or maybe we surprise ourselves and  pass we've worked hard let's trust that  
57
560640
12080
09:34
yeah and next time maybe we can  ask Mr dalton to give more more
58
574240
6000
09:40
examples or get help earlier cheating  should never be the answer i am sure about
59
580240
10400
09:50
that agreed now let's review  conditionals one more time just in case
