<p>I lost my math textbook and we had to turn it in, so I tried using a class set to pretend it was my home copy. My math teacher found out. He told me he wanted to see me afterschool on Monday.</p>
<p>He is very strict about following the rules, and he once suspended a student for copying someone else's notes.</p>
<p>Is this considered academic dishonesty and would I get suspended for this?</p>
<p>I think so… that seems a lot worse than copying notes.</p>
<p>Woah, didn’t know it was considered dishonest to copy notes. I thought that was what everyone did when they missed a day of school.</p>
<p>However, trying to turn in a class set does seem quite dishonest to me.But the punishment will depend completely on the school you attend.</p>
<p>Wait, what’s a “class set”?</p>
<p>Why would you use someone else’s book to pretend that it was yours? You should’ve just told your teacher that you lost it and he would’ve made you payed the fine instead, which I think is better than to face possible consequences.</p>
<p>This seems more like stealing than academic dishonesty though.</p>
<p>ah, kids have done this at school, scratch off the little codes and mess it up a bit so you can’t tell it’s not a class set then say “oh, my bar code fill off” and done. </p>
<p>it is more stealing than academic dishonesty, can’t see how they’d punish you more than actually making you pay for the book. Try buying a cheap replacement off of amazon?</p>
<p>^ Yeah, before I “stole” a class set, I tried looking up the book on Amazon and it was about $130.</p>
<p>I think teachers would view this as more of a problem of dishonesty/stealing than paying up for the book, which is what I’m worried about.</p>
<p>Used books on Amazon are like 25 cents. I bought all my textbooks for under 5 dollars including shipping and they were all in brand new condition.</p>
<p>Wait, why would your teacher suspend a student for copying NOTES? They’re notes, which were probably copied from somewhere…</p>
<p>Anyway, I don’t think that’s academic dishonesty since it doesn’t affect your grade, and you’ll probably just have to pay for the lost book.</p>
<p>Well, at my school we take notes from a book and those are graded so I can see those being considered “cheating”. And I’ve cheated by copying notes when I’m too lazy to read and think.</p>
<p>They’ll figure it as stealing most likely. “Academic” dishonestly, not so much since there’s not much academic. Regular dishonesty possibly. You just tried to steal a book, get away with not turning one in or paying, etc. You’ll live.</p>
<p>It is clearly stealing. Do you even have to ask? Geez, for all CCers’ supposed intelligence…</p>
<p>Okay, thanks for the input everyone. </p>
<p>Rachael, do you know what kinds of disciplinary actions the school will take for stealing?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL, that’s a hilarious assertion. So young, so naive.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’ll have to pay the replacement cost of the book. The punishment for trying to turn in one that wasn’t your own would depend on the school. Suspension, detention, a stern verbal lashing from the dean - all are possibilities.</p>
<p>Just pay for the book, no harm, no foul.</p>
<p>
Well sorry I don’t buy elite college textbooks 
Almost all of my high school textbooks are found on Amazon for under 5 dollars.</p>
<p>Thank you, ThisCouldBeHeaven.</p>
<p>Will this action be recorded on my permanent record? And if so, will colleges be able to see this?</p>
<p>As he said before, it depends on the school.</p>
<p>Got it. Thanks, Matt.</p>
<p>Why in the world would someone get suspended for copying notes? If that has happened, then the book thing I think is worse… good luck.</p>
