The only student who wouldn't cheat would be one that:

The reason I never cheated was because I thought it was wrong. This has nothing to do with respect for the school system.

The other reason was because I knew it wouldn't help me learn anything. This has more to do with respect for the school system than my previous reason.

I've found that learning how to cheat was one of the more valuable skills I gained from school. Admittedly I work in reverse engineering, so my mindset isn't necessarily entirely standard :)
