Entire class given 0 on test - is this allowed? LCPS high school.

Old school values.

Don’t make “old school values” look bad. I’m all for accountability and discipline but this is poor judgment on the part of the teacher. Either she is making a threat she won’t follow through on or she is going to tank the GPA of a bunch of high school students just because their classmates cheated.

every educator should know collective punishment is prohibited.

This has caused unnecessary stress to students and parents.

Marking threats to students to execute an illegal act should not cause the teachers removal but it should cause some type of disciplinary action.

This is intimidation.

This is child neglect.

This is educational malpractice.

Best response as pointed out already is to retest everyone.

At my son's private, teacher found a cheat sheet. The whole class had daily detention until someone confessed. Zero parents complained. Just letting you know not everyone feels like you do.

Giving detention to a whole class is not the same thing as changing a grade that will be used to determine whether or not they can get into college.

Um, they'll get into college. Just maybe not the one they/you want.

If the teacher goes through with the threat, they deserve to be fired and sued if any of those grade effect transcripts

If a class of students stands behind a cheater, they deserve to have it affect their transcripts. Academic integrity matters. We need more adults who advance because of their integrity. Lyign and cheating is ruining our world.

Why do you assume anyone knows who the cheater is?

Did you attend high school? Everyone knows who the cheater is.

I never knew. I have Aspergers and stayed in my lane because I didn't know how not to.

I don’t have Asperger’s and I never knew either. I wasn’t cool enough to know those things.

+1
I was too naive.

DD should make a cheat sheet for every test and drop it on the floor.

The teacher should forgo her pay until the teacher confesses. Teachr was in the room, so teacher should know how cheated.

can we please reward the teacher with some door dash or Starbucks? I love that teacher

Update OP? There is no way this holds as it violates the LCPS grading policy in a number of ways. You can’t just punish an entire class for cheating with no proof. At our school, I’d have my child moved to another teacher for this course- I’ve done it for less.

If it happens in college, good luck with a tenured professor

Another moron. Detention doesn't impact college admissions. This 0 will. It is unfair to expect innocent students to suffer like this.

So you care about your own kid's college chances more than the academic integrity of the class and collective morality. This is why cheaters win.

Then you should have had counseling.

teacher should be disbarred and put in jail

This. The test is compromised and has to be retaken by everyone, so they are effectively getting a zero on the compromised test, but ultimately it won't be counted.

I didn't realize the teacher was a lawyer too.

So what happened, OP?
