<p>lol. about half of the school cheats.....its funny....</p>
<p>In history class, the two kids that sit behind me during tests tap the desk once for letter a , two for b, etc.</p>
<p>or sometimes, if the rest of the class is finished with a test, and one kid is left, thery can actually talk about it if the teacher doesn't notice. kids turn in the tests at the end of class(if it didn't take all period) after getting the answers from others.</p>
<p>I know a friend who managed to tape notes on her breasts/bra and cheat during a Chem Test. I found that hilarious.</p>
<p>There is this rather pricy tutoring center near our home where several AP science students go for extra help. The tutoring center has the books and materials used in the AP class, and all year they have given the test questions to those in the program a day or two before the test is taken at the high school. Recently, one of the students who went to the tutoring center for the first time (girlfriend took him) realized that these students had the answers ahead of time when he took his first test after his tutor session. He told his parent, who notified the school. The teacher said it was a breach of the honor code. The episode has caused a bit of a stink.</p>
<p>What I find interesting is that people (adults and kids) are not in agreement about whether this is a breach (cheating) or not. What do you think?</p>
<p>You folks are amateurs.</p>
<p>Calculator sheets? Soda bottles? Pfft, childs play. Although, I think I've said too much already.</p>
<p>Also, anyone who thinks copying HW isn't cheating, its "helping a friend in need." </p>
<p>We just needed to get that cleared up.</p>
<p>lol, cheating is bad but a lot of people do it at my hs( not including me)</p>
<p>Cheating... welll... I don't do it. But it's so ridiculously common at my school. The thing is, though, those quiet cheaters I can ignore and really, I don't care.</p>
<p>But those arrogant jerks who always moan and complain about their schoolwork and cheat all the time on tests.. I just want to choke them. It's so annoying, because they will never get out of your face, and will always beg the teacher to push the test date back and complain about their grades and how they're gonna take XX AP classes. Whatever, cheating isn't going to stop in high school, but I just can't stand these whiny cheaters who think they're the brightest people ever.</p>
<p>Actually, copying hw is cheating,starman. did you do the work?</p>
<p>sooo much cheating goes on at my school. its really crazy. last year we had 3 or 4 people busted for cheating on the chem final - someone put the answers in a calc from first period and gave it to other people in later classes. People also just had answers on a piece of paper and handed it around to almost the entire class during a test - which was stupid because the answers weren't right anyhow. </p>
<p>teachers don't usually check for plagarism unless its very obvious. My AP English teacher checked all the summer reading essay assignments however and gave 5 people zeros on the assignments and turned them into the office. One person had just one sentence that was the same as sparknotes, and he happened to catch it. </p>
<p>Regular cheating on quizzes is rarely caught. There are these two guys that always sit behind one another and during quizzes they write on little pieces of paper and then throw it back to the other person. Its ridiculous that the teachers never catch on to this. The one kid actually moved into a different seat before each quiz... and the teacher didn't even think about it. </p>
<p>As to turning people in for cheating, it doesn't happen much. Some of my friends, one girl in particular often gets upset about the cheating and has informed teachers a few times. She gets mad because its people above her in rank and she is just on the edge of being in the top ten and so that annoys her cause she doesn't cheat - which is understandable. I've never personally told a teacher about cheating - not that a condone it or feel some loyalty to the people - I just figure that these people will get what's coming to them eventually - hopefully in college; and it doesn't really affect me, i don't cheat and still get better grades than them so oh well.</p>
<p>It doesnt go on at my school alot (not that i know of). But where my sister goes they make a business out of it. A guy will get the test (somehow) and sell these little clear plastic sheets (like the kind you use on an overhead projector) with the answers on them.</p>
<p>In Physics the teacher simply checks for completion(actually in most math classes too). So people just bs the homework, some of the answers they put are ridiculous, I.e. "Are you reading this you old tard?" A friend actually put that down, yet the teacher didn't say a thing. Also, writing down formulas in calculators is pretty rampant too, a good majority of people have probably done it in physics, its just so damn easy and tempting.</p>
<p>this guy from my school got expelled for hacking into his teachers' computers and taking their tests. supposedly all he did was put a trojan in their computers to be able to hack into their systems. a pretty ingenious idea! too bad he went around bragging about what he did.... someone busted him. lol</p>
<p>its the bragging which usually gets kids caught at my school</p>
<p>I would have said that cheating wasnt that bad at my school...until friday. Some bufoon typed in all the answers to a test in his calculator and started distributing the file! about 20 people copied them down. That was outragous. And btw, since when is typing formulas into your calculator cheating. Its only cheating (atleast this is what everyone goes by at my school) if the teacher says that you CANT.</p>
<p>that's funny cus everyone at my school types formulas and answers to tests and quizzes into their calculators everyday. ive even heard of people saying they want to do that for the SAT.. although i really don't see how putting formulas will help, considering the needed formulas are given on the test.</p>
