[quote=Anonymous][quote]I confess that I know someone that borrowed an address to attend a good high school. It was an Asian person with a Type A personality. All school, all the time. Now she is a multimillionaire doctor. She doesn't regret it for one minute. She was poor and did everything she could to succeed. While it may be dishonest, it is also impressive for a family to want to succeed so badly that they would cheat and lie and spend extra time commuting. So I think I respect their ambition more than I look down upon the cheating.

In some ways, you can compare this to cheating on an exam or an assignment. You are doing something dishonest to get ahead in life. And we all know how rampant cheating in school is. The type of cheating can vary. Maybe the student is getting help from mom. Maybe the student is using Cliffnotes or using google when you are not allowed to.

I guess it depends on what you value as "success".  I was brought up that your word and integrity were more important than money.[/quote]
