This is like asking who's worse: The murderer who wielded the knife to stab someone or the bystander who stood by, watched and did nothing to prevent, intervene or help the victim. The degrees of wrong here really don't matter.
All growing up I told my daughter to do whatever she needs to do to get good grades. Nobody gets welcomed into competitive universities because they received an honest "C".
My daughter is graduating from a prestigious Arlington high school next week and yes, she cheated whenever she needed to.
She's attending UVa in the Fall while so-called "honest" kids just as smart as her are attending JMU, VCU and ODU. That's a win. I told her just be careful at UVa that she doesn't announce when she cheats and that she cover her tracks. She's smart, she's very popular and effective with people, and often assignments are just silly. She just needs to jump through the hoops and she'll be golden whether she pursues career first or hooks up with someone who has great prospects.
