Some times in school I did, and not only do I not regret it at all, I also see it as a necessary life skill.
Many times people are put in deeply unfair situations where the rules are against them to begin with. If you play by the rules you will always lose.
In school I had some teachers who didn't give a fuck. They were not taking their job or teaching seriously but were still sadistic people taking some form of sick pleasure against students.
In such cases, there is no established framework in these situations where it there was a class with knowledge transfer/teaching, where the student is properly put to a test to verify he indeed adquire such knowledge. You rather have a sick social exercise where a sociopath is in a position of power making student's life hell and test results are semi random.
In university I also had teachers who only pretended to teach. They would not be there for most of the time of the class or not show up at all, but they still made tests with the material that wasn't teached and that students didn't even know about. Of course many would just fail like this.
In these cases I cheated.
Life trows you these situations, and learning how to cheat is rather learning how to save yourself. I never cheated in legitimate situations, as I just didn't feel I was being treated with injustice, and therefor didn't even had the need to cheat.
This is the Kirk, Kobayashi Maru method.
