<p>Is it cheating when you ask a sibling about classes they took?</p>
<p>Is it cheating when you ask a sibling for returned tests and quizzes from classes they took?</p>
<p>I smell ■■■■■ post .__.</p>
<p>Well then, you clearly need to decrease your ■■■■■-meter’s sensitivity. </p>
<p>There’s absolutely no need to reply to every single new thread in HS Life and if you can’t think of an intelligent response, don’t reply. </p>
<p>This is a legitimate question and I will be influenced by the responses to my question. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you know the answer…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Exactly my point. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>An extremely unnecessary question (really?), unless you unintentionally worded this question poorly.</p>
<p>Which is why. . . </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>. . .I will not tone down my ■■■■■-meter’s sensitivity.</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Happy you got a legit answer?</p>
<p>Goodness.</p>
<p>Now that I’ve gotten my fair share of answers from inane forum browsers, I would appreciate a teacher’s opinion (if there are any on HS Life). </p>
<p>Teachers: </p>
<p>Many teachers recognize siblings of former students. </p>
<p>Do you find it suspicious if a sibling of a former student does extremely well on assignments, possibly better than the former student? </p>
<p>Or do you just give the sibling the benefit of the doubt?</p>
<p>Or do you not pay attention to such things?</p>
<p>If you want my input: </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t see how it is cheating if you are simply asking your sibling about the classes they took.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Technically, yes. But, those are past tests and quizzes, and who knows if the teacher/professor modifies the tests every year.</p>
<p>I’m in the gray area.</p>
<p>Actually, wait.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>that.</p>
<p>It just seems like such a big loophole that isn’t addressed. Or is it? Still waiting for a teacher’s opinion.</p>
<p>If the teacher cared, he or she would not have released the tests or quizzes. Why don’t you just study the material, though?</p>
<p>The teacher is going to say something along the lines of “individual achievement is best”, pretty sure.</p>
<p>Well, are you using the test to try and write down the answers, or are you curious about test materials/what your teacher looks for in answers?</p>
<p>In my college, some professors specifically create separate test booklets, so that the students MUST hand back the question book after the test (kind of like what Collegeboard does with the SAT’s.) And they specifically say it is illegal to possess any past midterms/exams.</p>
<p>So, its up to the teacher to define if IceQube’s statement:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>if that is cheating. </p>
<hr>
<p>OTHERWISE, grey area to me.</p>
<p>If I had access to a sibling’s tests and quizzes, I would specifically study the actual material and content on the assignment. </p>
<p>That way, I won’t be cheating myself out of an education. And if the teacher modifies the test each year, I won’t be cheating. </p>
<p>It is a grey area, I agree. </p>
<p>I’ll make my own call on this issue now - thanks for the input.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wait IceQube what was the original intent of this thread for your use?</p>
<p>Just asking about the class no. Asking for the test and quizzes YES!</p>
<p>Asking about the class is not cheating. If you ask them for past quizzes/tests, it is most likely cheating, because many teachers do not change their quizzes/tests significantly from year to year, so you would basically be studying the answers.</p>
<p>What the two above me said. Although if the teacher hands out tests and doesn’t change them from time to time, they are really asking for it.</p>
