It says the video is not supported in my country. My settings could all messed up because I did switch my location to South Africa and Denmark a couple of times, so I can't hear it until I find the right settings.

Lol impersonating Emilie, Diana, and Cathy? ;) Jk! That stinks. Try the US XD

Of course not! Even the best of students don't always have motivation to study. Not saying I am, but I think you are. Well that's because a lot of others didn't do well at all, period. If it was like your old school and they were getting marks in the 90s, you'd be more upset. For example, a lot of people did badly on a hard exam in one of my classes. If the exam was generally one where people scored high (let's say I messed up my math and got a lower score) I wouldn't have liked that score at all. But since I was close to the undisputed top student of that class, I wasn't upset. It makes sense. It's not you.
Yeah, I would say that it is. The only thing that makes me worried sometimes is that when people have the courtesy not to be rude to your face, they can do it behind your back. Usually its not about a score, however. But I don't have any control about it, nor can I see when they do that, so... I'd like to think it doesn't happen much, though. Well, I'm not always at the top... But did you seriously believe I was? 😮 And oh yeah. The thing about the review game is that it's based on speed as well as accuracy. So I can sometimes be too impulsive and get it wrong that way. On an actual exam, I don't rush through the questions. In fact, I'm one of those people who spends a long time debating mentally over weird questions. XD
Definitely! Although I know that there are people who say stuff like that to get a reaction. Maybe the one who I met didn't actually cheat, they just did something like give the exam to the teacher unfinished, look up the answer, and come back later to finish with it in their mind. Oh jeez :( I would hate that! Did she whisper to them during the test or something? Oh no! That's so unfair! Have you asked them to just keep an eye out during the next exam so they can see for themself? I don't understand why they wouldn't even notice if you did :/ it's unfortunate, but their job does involve fairness in that way as well...
Favoritism.. *sighs* I've had some great teachers who have picked favorites too apparently. Not this year, thankfully. And don't get me wrong, I was in the position of favorite sometimes. I enjoy praise but to have it be so obvious in front of everyone was just embarrassing...
Ah but in the real world he wouldn't XD That's just because Shade promoted him to such a high position. Usually, in the real world, you have to advocate for it yourself. He's too introverted and non power-hungry to do that. Plus I'm evil so I shine the spotlight on him more than necessary ;D

Hehe that's exactly what I was trying to do xD

I don't know why I felt it was only me. Now that you pointed out the right examples, I understand that it is a universal student problem. And I'm no good student - at least not anymore. Perhaps when I was six years old, but not now.
Exactly! Albeit we didn't have that a lot, or rather my friend and I didn't since people don't usually dare to mess with me, there were times when people just be mean. Yeah right, the times you are not at the top, you're second xD Oh that's true. Although I do think that will prepare you finish the simple questions that don't require a lot of thought faster in an actual exam. In this school, all of us spend half the time trying to answer the small multiple choice questions worth one mark.
I think the teachers do know they cheat now - except they don't know who to catch or how. One or two teachers have caught people before, but left them with a warning. They just do it again, this time with better plans. They do stuff like write on an extra sheet of paper in such a way that you can see what is written only if you hold it in a certain angle. Things like that are hard to catch, but I don't know how the teachers don't catch things such as writing on the desk even when they know something's up.
That dreaded thing! I was among the favourites of a lot of teachers due to two reasons: my grades and my brother. It was still really annoying, though, and like you rightly mentioned, embarrassing.
But he'd still be interesting even in the real world :D And I have characters complaining that I'm evil because people barely know them xP
