It is possible to conceive of make or break situations regarding one's academic career -- if passing or failing a class could mean one's expulsion from school, or entry into a popular major. But a situation where one would do ANYTHING to improve one's grade? It seems inconceivable -- unless one reflects upon the hothouse environment created in some classes and many scholastic environments, where the atmosphere is so competitive, so driven, so focused upon entry into a prestigious medical, law, or even undergraduate institution, that nothing else, even dignity or self-respect, seems worthy of consideration.


But ultimately, one's self-esteem and sense of intelligence and self-respect would have to be very fragile to say, 'I would do anything to improve a grade in my class,' even something dishonest and in violation of my personal morality. One's sense of self would have to be entirely contingent upon a list of numbers or letters, or the visions of degrees and diplomas upon the walls of one's future, or bullet points upon one's future resume.
