Students at one college in Legazpi City were asked to wear bizarre apparel designed to prevent them peeking at at their classmates’ papers.

Many responded by creating homemade contraptions out of cardboard, egg boxes and other recycled things. One lad even made his own goggles using paper tubes. Others donned hats, helmets or Halloween masks.

The teacher behind the idea told the BBC she had been looking for a “fun way” to ensure “integrity and honesty” in her classes.

Let's get right to the point here. If you can't figure out how to cheat while wearing paper on your head, you deserve to fail. I think finding unique ways to cheat during a test is an art form. I remember people in high school writing on their ankles because we always had to wear pants and have socks above the ankle. Cross your leg, lift it up a little and bam, right there just look down. Some went obvious and just straight up asked people during a test because our Spanish teacher was checked out around October. Some would write on the desk or in calculators, whatever it might be. Cheating on tests is an art form in high school and college. 

I love how the teacher thinks this is a fun way. Oh yeah, a real hoot slapping some paper on the side of my head and for sure being uncomfortable. Hilarious! That's what I want to do as I prep for a test. By prep I mean frantically reading a few pages and hoping I can remember everything in the 10 hours prior to the test. Studying sucks. I don't believe people actually study - at least at a normal level. This doesn't count for jobs that matter like doctors. If you're going to be a doctor, please study. 

I know this is in the Philippines but I'm talking to everyone in America right now. Don't fall for this. Refuse to wear egg boxes on your head. Show up normal and dare your teacher to fail you for just taking a test. Integrity and honesty don't count when you're not prepared for a test. Do any means necessary to pass that class and move on - there's a good shot you're not going to use algebra again in your life.

Now on the flip side, I want this used for The Dozen. There are too many cheating scandals on a trivia show. 

Cons is making his return this week. I want him wearing egg cartons on his head. I want his hands tied together. No cheating on my watch. No cheating in The Dozen. That's a serious matter, unlike school. Let's enjoy some Chuba Hubbard highlights because he was sweet at Oklahoma State and for no other reason.
