^^ I think you are confusing very different issues.
However, had I been in your class and known that you loaded your calculator, I would have certainly alerted the instructor. Same if you had written the material on your arm or a sheet of paper.
I realize cheating is common and generally condoned by students (and usually instructors). I'm not ignorant.
No, that is the US view. Others do not give a crap if someone's cheating and possibly ONLY hurting him/herself in the end. Why would I report anyone cheating, not doing anything to me. I mind my own business and find my own ways out. Throughout my undergrad and graduate school (EE), I have helped MANY people pass their exams or achieve better grades, call it cheating or not. I have also cheated on some exams. And have done it great throughout my 15-year industry career. You see, that is your problem. Same in industry, you would probably report your own teammate for obtaining marginal info. I do not want people like that on my team, so...
I would much rather hire someone who can find the way to obtain information and complete a task than someone who will run to me an tell me what (bad things) others did...
