My social studies teacher was gone on tuesday and they had a substitute - the substitute teacher played MLB for the Florida Marlins. When he told me that, I thought for sure the students would be too distracted by that to take their test. The kids did better than I expected, although I did catch two girls cheating.
Not wanting to ruin rapport with them so early into my time there, I told them I would take their test and shred it, give them a blank test and sit them on the other side of the room from one another. They seemed so grateful, so I kept my word. I separated them and shred their tests and when I turned around guess what? They were cheating from across the room.
So I let them take the test, and when they turned it in - I put a note on it for my teacher explaining the whole thing. I was giving them a second chance - why would they choose to sabatoge that chance?

i must say those girls were really brave... not saying that i would have cheated on a test, but considering that they did and were caught and given a second chance and cheated a second time is ridiculous to me!! i would have definitely taken you serious as a student! that makes me wonder, do they even care?? or even what do they care about?? obviously not consequences!!
