In high school they watched us like hawks. All sorts of people cheated. I thought about cheating, but never had the nerve. My conclusion is that cheating is caused more by a thrill of beating the system that it is in getting better grades.

But you also have, in a serious honor code school, the positive incentive of doing something because it is the right thing to do and because everyone takes it seriously (and actual scorn for people who violate it). Yes, I believe that and still became a lawyer.
