<p>Yay! So glad it worked out.</p>
<p>Good for you and your son!</p>
<p>That is awesome. It is so nice when things work out the way they should. Now you can get a good nights sleep.</p>
<p>Thank you all! I am still recovering from sleepless, nerve-raking nights in the past month. Son is coming home soon and we will sure talk about the lesson learned. I will write more about this once I get things sorted out.</p>
<p>I’m so happy to hear it! I just reread the thread, and was getting all steamed up for your son’s sake all over again! :)</p>
<p>What a relief that you and your son can put this behind you. I can imagine how draining this has been. </p>
<p>Thanks for the update. Glad it worked out.</p>

I’ve taught as an adjunct for 17 years. It’s not uncommon for me to discover that students have cheated in some way on an exam, usually by copying someone else’s test, with or without their assistance. Years ago, I tried to deal with these things according to policy. </p>
<p>But it’s a major hassle. The students will deny it. If they go to the Chair, it becomes a headache for them too. The Chair might not support your decision on what to do about it, particularly if the parents get involved and start threatening to get their lawyers. And, of course, some people just blame ME. </p>
<p>I don’t get paid enough to go through that, and this thread has served as a reminder to me as to why. What goes around comes around.</p>
<p>@sylvan8798 I don’t quite understand what you were trying to say but I do agree with you that it’s not uncommon “that students have cheated in some way on an exam”. In this particular incident, my son would be in bigger trouble if the other student did not get caught on the spot because cheaters usually deny everything and try to put the blame on the others with no hesitation. To the cheaters, what goes around will come around, I believe, someday eventually.</p>
<p>Yea!!
It is good to hear.
Congrats and please enjoy the sense of relief you must have!</p>
<p>When you get a chance, if there is something you did that you think made a difference it would be good to post that.</p>
<p>I am happy for you and your son.</p>
<p>Adding another big congrats! Sleep well. It will be great to have your son home soon and celebrate.</p>
<p>OP, do you know what the outcome for the girl was?</p>
<p>@GA2012MOM The girl settled her case with teacher</p>
<p>Hopefully, son learns to protect his exam papers because even when one is innocent, this can happen. I’m glad it’s resolved.</p>
