Description:

What’s worse than failing a test? Becoming friends with a unicorn, accusing it of cheating at foosball, then losing its magical friendship forever. That’s a huge bummer. Herbie, if you’re watching, we’re still sorry about that. But, uh, cheating is pretty bad, too. So don’t do that, either.

01:39

table We know you're an honest student So how can

01:41

you make sure you're not fleeced by these guys and

dishonest student exhibits Some of the following behaviors they may

01:48

have here suspicious or nervous frequently look up to check

to correct a bad behavior But don't push your luck

02:26

We're always willing to follow through calling a teacher's bluff

02:29

Well it's a bad idea thinking away privileges is another

02:32

step your teacher can take when dealing with a dishonest

lying about something Well if your teacher says you can

02:39

never tell the truth or miss recess we're pretty sure

who wants to miss out on a tether ball time

02:46

No one that's who anyway and don't think you can

02:49

sit there and say nothing Most important thing here is

02:51

to deal with this honesty when you see it people

02:53

who don't get chastised early on well we know what

02:56

happens to them Dishonesty is appealing but ultimately it's a

02:59

risk no one should take And if this video is
