An AcceptableBreakFromReality nowadays since this has become harder to pull off in real life than fiction wants us to believe. So much so that it'd easily be a lot more work hacking in to do this than it would be to just sit down, study hard, and raise your grades the old-fashioned way (or find other ways to cheat). Needless to say: DontTryThisAtHome; this is considered tampering with school property. A cursory glance at Website/{{Google}} shows that people have gotten straight-up arrested for grade hacking. At the very least, you could get suspended or expelled.

* In ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'', Ferris hacks into the school's system from his computer to change the number of absences he's had.
