The whole idea behind the answers being given after the test and not allowing him to go back to correct those answers indicates to me that he is suppose to remember the answers corrected from the previous test in order to help him prepare for a second test. At least he only got an 83%? I mean – that's the difference of like 1 question right? Maybe he learned something from the time practicing and reviewing his old answers even if it was technically cheating…Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415510811585368037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-63841828253042999472016-04-29T19:06:55.805-07:002016-04-29T19:06:55.805-07:00Very unique but to me, that's cheating.

At Darian and Harley's school they can even take the tests over until they get a grade they want to keep!!

You could probably read it in your email. I just decided it might be best to keep it between the two of us. <br /><br />If your student cheated, the only person he was cheating was himself.

I find the latter (demotivated students) more challenging than the cheeky ones who do 'cheat'. The morality of his actions can not be a scrutinized under a black and white lens. If he enjoys coming back to school and gets a kick out of his learning, isn't that a good thing? <br />I found my X....while cheating on my diet:) hope you will visit to find out how.

He was probably trying to find the right answer to one he got wrong. He clearly wanted to pass instead of giving up and not caring at all. And he didn't get 100% on his redo, so maybe he really did learn something. I don't know. But when I was in school it would still be considered cheating.Sunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-71887130234554854042016-04-28T19:35:23.876-07:002016-04-28T19:35:23.876-07:00I think the kid was cheating, but he came so close...I think the kid was cheating, but he came so close to passing!
