<p>Recently I bombed a math quiz so when I received it, I changed a couple of my answers and told my teacher she graded it incorrectly. However, she immediately saw through my life. As a result, my quiz grade remained as the bad grade I had originally received, I got a Friday detention, and a phone call home. The administration didn't tell me whether it was going to be on my permanent record or not, so I was wondering if this offense will be recorded and sent to colleges when I apply next year.</p>
<p>It depends on your school tbh. Some will put it on your record and it gets sent to colleges others won’t. However some college applications do ask for you to list any disciplinary actions that you have received during your high school career so this may come up. </p>
<p>Ask your guidance counselor or your teacher. Academic dishonesty would be a pretty serious issue if I was a college admissions officer, but that’s the only way to know for sure. If you are uncomfortable making the call yourself, ask your parents to do it for you.</p>
<p>I hope you have learned a lesson from all this. Your honor is one of the things you start off with, but once it is tarnished it can be difficult to rebuild. Same thing with trust and relationships between your teachers. Sometimes is better to just accept the bad grade and deal with the consequences (motivating yourself to study harder), then to break that tentative trust you have between your teachers</p>
<p>@ratpack32: I wonder how some of your classmates – who will vie with you for competitive college admissions, who also “bombed” the recent math quiz, but who were not dishonest – would feel if this attempted academic fraud was not reported to colleges?</p>
<p>Should have gotten a zero on that quiz. Don’t cheat.</p>
<p>Hmm, that’s one of the worst mistakes I ever saw from HS students. </p>
<p>Lessons: Don’t cheat
Lesson 2: Don’t try to deceive your teacher</p>
