what would you do when you caught your student cheating?

I am a student.. Sometime i also resort to cheating when I don't have a choice especially if the subject that I really don't understand. I study hard too, but there are some things that just couldn't be processed in my brain. haha I hope you understand that sometimes we just need to do that.

I am a teacher too, and I don't tolerate cheating. I warn them before and during the exam, and after the third warning, that's a deduction of a point each (to the one cheating and the one who is allowing the cheating to happen).

I am a student. I never did cheat. But i saw my class mate to doing cheat. And my teacher never caught them. I always wish they will caught by teacher. Because they got good score some times more then me. I always work hard but i see my score is less then them then i feel so bad.

I Would be soon a teacher,In the case that I would be going to caught my student cheating, I will going to call their attention and talk to them after the class. I will make them answer my question of what are their reasons in doing so. I will make them realize that what they've done s wrong ans put a sanction to them to teach them a lesson.

Hi jungbautista Firstly, I think its is okay to reprimand, punish and take action against those who cheat. I am a student, and trust me, other students actually feel happy when a cheater is caught. Its not fair when we study will 3 am for quizzes and test, we feel sick and tired on the day of the exam, but someone else takes the easy way by cheating and gets more marks then us. Its really not fair. Please help us by catching these horrible students. We usually KNOW they are cheating, however, we don't dare to report fearing our identity will be relieved. We are tired of being honest and we are quite frustrated that some teacher's do very little to punish them. We want a fair test. Sometimes, these cheating students ask answers from us. We try to ignore yet they keep annoying us. Its really not fair, To answer your question, If I was a teacher, I'll talk to them, listen to their story first, and then decide who's wrong and who's right, but make it clear that cheating is a non tolerable behavior. Sorry for the rant. I just want you to know some students out there really appreciate it that you have caught the culprit. Have a nice day!

i believe is take a teacher ,you aleady arrived at your responsibillity

I realize that students are under a lot of pressure to succeed academically, but cheating very dishonest. Students should be given a grade of zero on that particular test, and if they are active in sports or other activity, their coach should be notified. Parents should also be notified.

hi jing..i got fascinated of your topic..i am a college instructor for three years, and it is true that students can't do away of the so called "CHEATING". somehow i sympathize with them, not because i'm tolerating them but because i was a student then. usually a college student have 10-12 subject or more than..and to think they'll gonna have exams to all that subject, it would really hard for them..remember that not all students are all intelligent that could have all the lessons in their mind..but as a teacher i told them, to avoid cheating. maybe i can forgive them if i caught them copying from their seatmates,it can be avoided. but i would not forgive if i caught them "cheating" i mean having that answers on a small paper keeping it on their pocket, shoes, hands, on their polo. before i give a quiz or exam, i give my rules.. everyone is enjoined to abide. for three times i caught a student cheating. he put the tore paper having the lessons included in the exam under his test paper. i was just observing them. i give my 1st warning, he ignore it, my 2nd warning i told them i will give them zero and i i'll throw their paper to the trash can..he still don't mind. the 3rd time, i got his paper and throw it, and i sent him out. i am not being rude i just wan't them to learn to strive hard, just like what i did.

I'm currently a college a student and I see most students now sin by means of cheating in tests, exams and other school works. I have some teachers here and some techniques they are using to avoid their students cheating are: 1. the giving of tests in different sets 2. the taking of tests by batches 3. being totally strict. Students who are currently cheating now at their age will grow as persons who are corrupt and cannot be trusted. One main focus teachers must give now is the being truthful and honest of students for it is what school's main function is and that is to mold students into better persons. Hope that helps !

When i was in graduate school I was teacher assistant, and I used to teach to undergraduate student of first year, and i tell you, I used to feel really bad whenever I caught someone cheating, it was the worst feeling ever, but the behavior of cheating is totally unacceptable, students have to be teaches that honesty is one of the most important things in life, and that you shouldn't take shortcuts. I would totally punish them because they have to learn that their behavior have consequences, because if not, they will keep doing it and today can be cheating in school, tomorrow it can be something worst.

Give him a detention ticket, instead of humilating the kid infront of the class. Or call his or her parents to advice the student properly. I am not a teacher,but been caught cheating. hehehe

I am a teacher too and unfortunately cheating is a big problem. I have been teaching for 15 years and I will confess that I was a horrible teacher for the first few years. There were so many things that I was unprepared for and like you said, your blood pressure really goes up. One of the main things that I can tell you is that yelling or getting really mad at them does not work. Let them know that you care about them. Find out what their interests are and ask about it. As for the cheating goes, you cannot tolerate it. But you must be absolutely sure that they are cheating. If they are I would suggest one of two things 1. you can just give them a zero or 2. you could have them come in before or after school and retake it. I would do the second option, but they do need to know that you will not accept cheating. Good luck.
