The context of the following conversation is After catching them cheating together on the exam, Jan gave them an F.:
Jan says Today I gave three different students an F on an exam because they were cheating with their phones..
The friend responds Wow, do you ever feel bad if you have to do that?.
Jan responds In this case not really, because these students never put the effort forth in class..
The friend responds I don't understand why people think it is ok to cheat, when you can just study..
Jan responds I know, and the material wasn't that hard either..
The friend responds I hope those kids learned their lesson that cheating is never ok..
