<p>I don't cheat anymore (I did in middle school). These are some of the ones I have seen.</p>
<p>Best (all in high school): </p>
<p>-Writing the Spanish translations of a pink pet eraser and then rubbing them off to reuse it.
-Writing out entire notes in the programs section a calculator
-Asking 3rd period to take cellphone pics of the test for 8th period.
-Writing the answers on the back of your ID and then fidgeting with it during the test. (This one was me)</p>
<p>Worst:</p>
<p>-In the 8th grade, two kids stole the teacher's book. They were so stupid that the teacher immediately found out that they had cheated on the test and clowned them in front of the class for writing "answers will vary" for some of the questions.</p>
<p>-Freshmen year one girl copied her cousin's paper and turned it in. The teacher remembered the paper. </p>
<p>-People cheating off of people in the row next to them. Five minutes before class is over, the teacher announces that each row has a different test form and the erasers come flying out. </p>
<p>Most creative (all high school):</p>
<p>-One staff member walked through the parking lot during finals and saw an open notebook on top of the bushes outside of a classroom. The kid was not enjoying the view outside. </p>
<p>-This was my 1st period biology class last year. The teacher would hand out notebook paper for us to write the answers on if the copier machine was broken that day (and it was broken a lot). What they would do was take a sheet of paper and draw a musical staff. Then they would fill in quarter notes A B C D that corresponded with the answer so that when they got done all they had was a bad piece of music. The class was full of band kids so was sheet music tucked everywhere and the teacher thought nothing of it. The answers were shared with the other periods.</p>
<p>One girl wrote notes on the soles of her feet, then took off her shoes in class and crossed her legs so she could read them. Another one wrote notes on her legs and hiked her skirt up before she sat down so she could read them, then unrolled her skirt to cover it up.</p>
<p>We had to draw a map of the entire world BY HEART over a 10-day period in middle school for social studies, and we were allowed to bring in music. Back when it was the coolest thing to have an iPod that could hold pictures, all the people with iPod videos put pictures of maps of continents on their iPods and would reference them while they were drawing. The teacher caught on and banned music.</p>
<p>Stupid: one girl spend the whole class cheating off another girl’s final exam. The other girl had the final exam for a different class.</p>
<p>Another time, two students dropped their test papers on the floor near each other at the same exact time, and they picked up the other person’s test paper. That was REALLY obvious.</p>
<p>An english teacher (who…was kinda not always there…mentally, or something, she didn’t know my name and I had her for two years and she’d yell at me in some other name that she decided was mine) left out her notebook with the answers to a test as she went to go see another teacher or use the bathroom. So obviously the entire class just synchronizes beautifully to quickly pass the answers down the rows and back onto her desk without one person actually getting up from their seats. And we all knew to leave maybe one or two wrong, everybody got As and I guess she was just too spacy to question it.</p>
<p>My apathetic World History teacher left the classroom for a while during every single test. Actually, let’s be honest, he ran out of things to do and left pretty much every day, but, well, tests are what matters. He walks out, cue “What’s the answer to number [blank]?” and “B!” (or whatever) from every student. He never really found out, but it probably should have been obvious. However, considering what he considered to be “teaching” and his observations of students’ behavior during quizzes, for which he actually did stick around, I doubt he cared if we cheated.</p>
<p>Best: When I was forced to be in Fashion I freshman year, one girl copied all of her notes on the soles of her converse everyday.
Worst: My Oblivious World History Teacher was making her lesson plans for next year during the final and really didnt care whether we learned or not, so she allowed us to use our notes to take the final. One really smart girl finished her exam and then GAVE her exam to her friend to change her answers and pass.</p>
<p>meh. idk whether this is creative but…
our physics teacher took his test q’s from the cb website.</p>
<p>hence, the class just typed in the answers in their graphing calculator program.
or the lazy ones just wrote them in little slips of paper and tucked them inside
the hollow grooves of their mechanical pencils.</p>
<p>guilty?
HECK NO.
he knew exactly what was going on, and in fact, told the class to go to the website
when asked for help.
it was the only way we could survive, seeing as his “teaching” involved
printing a packet from the web and reading them in his leather chair.</p>
<p>he didn’t give a damn so long as we got good grades.</p>
<p>Some kids teamed up to create a diversion and steal a copy of the final exam. So they threw a chair out of a window (second floor) and set the fire alarm off. Then one of the kids proceeded to steal the final exam while everyone was filing out of the classrooms because of the alleged fire.</p>
<p>I think my school has mastered the skill of cheating… Cheating is so rampant here it’s not even funny. Monitoring has got better since a few years ago but it’s still pretty bad.</p>
<p>A few years ago, one kid that does the best would just pass his/her test around the class and everyone would copy off it. It was multiple choice so some people would deliberately get a few questions wrong, but there were no short answers so a teacher can’t really accuse someone of copying off another test :P</p>
<p>Last year, girls would write notes between their legs and wear a skirt. Our teacher was a guy so obviously he couldn’t really check there. Or they would write in between their fingernails. Since we also had those manila folders that teacher use to “cover up our papers,” students could freely text each other answers and pictures of their tests without getting caught. If a classroom didn’t use the manila folders, people would just throw around extremely small piece of paper all rolled up with MC answers on them or one smart kid would write the answers down, go up to the classroom pencil sharpener and stick the answers in the shavings box.</p>
<p>Asian kids would use pencil cases -.- Now the protocol for almost all teachers during midterms/finals is to have us wash our hands, use provided pencils and erasers, and place our backpacks, pencil cases, and cellphones in front of the class. Sad.</p>
<p>The stupidest cheater was this “smart” kid who just placed class notes in an empty chair next to him. There was less than 7 people in that class… Idiotic teacher and student -.- He got caught but by then, it was way too late…</p>
<p>Stories involving two of my favorite teachers:</p>
<p>My AP World History teacher was paranoid about cheaters. Or so it seemed… actually, he was right, and was the only one who would catch the more devious plots. I remember, he found people with water bottles, who had reprinted the labels, so the “nutrition facts” and text on the inside of the label were notes. And for the essay portion of tests, he would give us his own paper, because he found a student bringing in sheets of paper with printed text in a really light font on them. There was a lot of less original cheating, too.</p>
<p>Oh, and as for stupid, some students stole and photocopied the teacher’s version textbook when my Latin teacher was out for a day. It was a little suspicious that most of the class (me and some friends could actually translate, so we didn’t cheat) had word for word what the book had for two page translations. Well, when she found out, it was the day before the second semester midterm exam, so we had an essay question, something to the gist of “If a teacher found out that students were cheating in an honors level class, what, if anything, could those students do or say to try to make it up.” Oh, it was hilarious to watch reactions. I was told beforehand (because she knew I didn’t cheat, and asked my opinion on it), so I had to pretend like I didn’t know. Non-cheating friend who reads essay topics first, in loud whisper: “Billy! Look at the essay topic!” “Huh, that is some essay topic.” Page ruffling, gasping, and red faces ensue. Yeah, there was a reason our class was 20+ that year, and 4 next year. Oh, and for the final quarter, the teacher used a 20-year old (age doesn’t matter… it’s Latin) single-copy no-internet-version Latin textbook she picked up at a yard sale. She covered it in brown paper, so we wouldn’t even know the title. It was a pretty good response.</p>
<p>When the scantron had numbering errors in my english 2H final, I messed up the numbering, despite the teacher reminding the class. With like ten minutes left I realized my error, so I went up to the teacher and asked for another scantron, while still having the old one. She gave it to me. I finished bubbling in the new one, turned it in. Now, the teacher didn’t check to see if all the scantrons were in and I still had the old one with the answers!! Anyone could have just did this and sold the answers to the test!! (Except that would be stupid because there is a curve). I didn’t cheat and turned both in.</p>
<p>In fourth grade, before a spelling test we would “review”. People were always up at the whiteboard writing the correct spellings. When we took the test, everyone spread their desks out and I put mine up to the whiteboard. This whiteboard was the kind of board that you could still see the writing on it even if it was erased when you looked at it on an angle. So that’s what I did.</p>
<p>Also, an AP Euro teacher got his test questions from a random website so all the students found out which one it was. He got most of his test questions from there so people were able to remember the answers easily. This happened the whole year and will continue to happen.</p>
<p>I think its stupid to write notes because the time spent making these elaborate plans can be easily used to learn stuff for the test.</p>
<p>for Spanish comp (memorize and copy) What most people do is copy down their paper and hide it in their shirt or something. Somethimes people jsut write it on their arms…daft teachers.</p>
<p>This one time though, the test had the answers attached to the back. everyone saw them and memorized the first few answers. Then this idiot, being moral and whatnot, just HAD to tell the sub. people still remembered those 8 letters till the last day… good times…</p>
<p>In 7th grade during a math final my fiends just out and gave (whispered) us the answers. Teacher so dumb! lol</p>
