As I'm studying for an exam at 9:00 am, I was going through my bio 200 notes using methods to do the least amount of work possible in order to get the best grade. When you think about it, instead of glorifying education into something I enjoyed doing, I now look for the easiest way to abuse the system.

So since I look for these ways to abuse the system, e.g. memorizing answers to questions I know will be on the test without knowing exactly what they relate to, only that it will get me 3% of a grade, I'm essentially circumventing the idea of learning to get the grade.

Since schools actually encourage this method, considering they get the higher numbers they desire, doesn't it seem like you could apply it to something else? I was looking at a fake id template and this thought struck me: Students are so good at abusing the system, it's makes more sense to abuse a system like making fake ids rather than spending 4 years not learning to get to the 4 years of learning and catchup.

Just a quick thought. Schools what you make it of course.

Depends on the school, too. I've yet to have a teacher in my program who encourages regurgitation. So it's possible to not have it happen. But at the undergrad level, yeah, it's a lot more common. Those who wanna learn, can, for the most part.

I think the whole thing is more human nature than institutionally embedded technique.
