I did until high school. Then I realized it's too much effort for something I care too little about(my grade).
I'm curious why you'd think cheating would correlate with laziness. I think you underestimate the work involved in cheating.
I've passed on cheating on multiple occasions in middle and high school years purely out of laziness. It would usually involve some laborious homework assignment. A friend would have done it. He would loan me the notebook. And it would just sit in my bag without me ever spending time to copy it.
In middle school we had to take an Accelerated Reader test on the computer each week. I was not prepared one day. So I went to two of the three computers and deleted the shortcut to the program. With only one computer operating, my turn to take the exam never came:) They'd to call the IT people from downtown to fix the shortcuts on the two computers. Silly middle school days:)
Now days I am almost guilty of being too honest. ie. I will skip an assignment because I thought it was a waste of time, tell the professor exactly what I thought and receive biased grading for rest of the semester. (At the end of the semester, though, the professors respect you a whole lot more.)
I don't think that, others in #startups do. Interestingly, those who were significantly older were making the connection between cheaters and lazy workers who would cheat out of their work.
