Cheating at school: copying and peeking, sentence 1

Mason says, "Lemme copy your maths, I'll change a few answers so it's not sus"; but homework is practice, so copying skips the learning, and the teacher thinks he understands when he doesn't.

Who acts: Mason, mark, homework, teacher · What happens: say, let, copy, change, not be, be · To what, where: maths, few answers, practice, learning · Speech: someone speaks here
