Looks like they are doing some serious high tech cheating in China. Wireless microphones, shoes, wallets, and more.

I cheated a couple of times on quizzes in 10th grade English many moons ago. Only class I ever cheated in. The teacher would have us correct each others quiz. I hand the girl next to me a nearly blank paper once and she handed it right back to me very quickly. We ended up correcting our own papers. :eek:

I once plagiarized most of a report in History class. I consider that cheating. That's the only instance I can remember. I did help others cheat though.

I cheated once on some "rewrite this paragraph" nonsense in French class in grade 8. The thing was that it was a decently long paragraph and it was marked out of ten. For every mistake, you would lose a mark and my teacher promised us that we would have a cake for the class if everyone in the class gor perfect once. I'm pretty sure that by the end of the year everyone except like two people had cheated. One of the two people who didn't had a photographic memory and the other girl had grown up in Quebec.

All the time. Why not?

I don't remember ever cheating.

This may be my memory failing or the truth. That's not an exclusive or.

come on now, what's the use if you can't live on the wild side now and then :D

I always performed as well in school as I thought acceptable without really trying too hard. Cheating would have been too much work. Also it's wrong and stuff.

You should link to this in your deja vu thread.

if you didn't cheat you didn't try

Yes. Many times.

Maybe I should. If it had time warped I would have. :)

Yeah once I remember in 7th grade. I got caught and to this day am still pissed about it.

A "friend" of mine put the notes under her chair for me to read off of during the test..then turned me in for cheating.

Of course I have. Whyever not?

I confess! the math textbooks in my old school had all the answers in the back...:( *gets sent to track*

How on earth did she not get in shit for having her notes under the chair like that? I mean, for her to be able to turn you in, she would have had to be in on it.

So did ours..but we always had to work out the probs on paper to show that we knew what we were doing and how we got there.

But of course.

...I did once or twice make stuff up when I knew that the teacher wasn't going to bust his ass checking the veracity of whatever I wrote.
It sounded real ergo it was real ;)

Ahh..but I was the one that decided to read them.

She had said that she had just put the paper under her chair (we got a study time before the test) and noticed I kept looking over.

Me being honest..I confessed that yeah I did.
I made the argument that she did it for me but what it boiled down to was that I was the one who actually cheated and I admitted it. She did not.

I used to...a lot

Of course I have. Whyever not?

Depends on the situation. In Texas, those in the top 10% of their high school class get automatic admission to any State School. It really wouldn't be fair to cheat and possibly resign those who worked hard to a lower rank. Hell, I sometimes feel bad because school was so easy for me and I bet some kids who worked a lot harder than I didn't get in the top.

Once in third grade I cheated by giving someone the answer to a crossword puzzle. It wasn't at school, but it was at a daycare center afterschool. Then I think I might have cheated on a game we played in class in fourth grade, but I can't remember it. It might have been more like I talked to someone about something in it before hand and later found out that we weren't supposed to talk to other people about it beforehand. Since then I've been obsessive about never letting anyone cheat off of me, and I wouldn't cheat off of anyone else.

I still feel so guilty about that time in third grade I mentioned. :(

I used to cheat just to see if I'd get caught. Never happened.

Nope. Never. I hate cheaters. It's absolutely despicable.

when I was in Kindergarten I had a "boyfriend" who copied off my worksheets, once I figured it out I dumped him.

other than that.....never really cheated, people have asked me to do their homework, but I mostly ended up tutoring them or double checking it for them before they turned it in.

I did commit a lot of forgery in junior high though.....turns out I can copy signatures nearly perfectly. I haven't made use of that skill in a while though....probably the last time was 10th grade.

I think I technically cheated in my chemistry AS exam. We do our exams in a hall split into 3 sections, each section having a different exam. I had got the 2nd paper in the chemistry exam and was waiting to begin and heard an inviglator tell us to begin. Turns out it was an invigilator from a different part of the hall .5 minutes later I heard the invigilator in our section tell us to begin.

I cheated on spelling tests in French class in grade 6. I slipped the sheet of paper with the words into the desk and when the teacher called out the word, I looked it up. The only time I cheated in school.

I had people copy off my paper in one of my college classes. That was until I figured out the easiest way to make them look stupid - start from the back! :D

Often in high school. Never in uni, that would have been rather stupid.

Ooh, I just remembered something... A case of cheating, albeit not by me.

Towards the end of university I was Summoned to the head of department, for reasons undisclosed.

I turn up, and she hands me a couple of sheets of paper and asks if they're familiar. I look, and it was a minor assignment I'd done a year or two previously (and completely forgotten). At the top (in a comments section; it was some code) there was my name, and the names of two friends I must have done it with.

I'm a bit confused by all this. The HoD explains that that printout had been handed in by one of the current second-year students who was doing the same coursework.
He hadn't even bothered to change the names. Apparently he'd also moaned that the specifications had changed in the meantime.

Google had dug the page up from my webspace, it seemed; I must've just dumped it there as an easy way to transfer it from uni to home, and forgotten to remove it. Oops.

Not during tests, really. Other stuff? Of course.
