[quote=Anonymous]DD told me that her entire Physics class will be given a zero on their test because the teacher found a cheat sheet after the exam ended. The teacher said it was found on the floor but won't tell them where exactly. The teacher is giving the culprit until the end of the school day today to confess or else everyone in that period gets a 0 entered in the gradebook.

DD is furious and wants me to complain. I've been looking through the handbook and all I can find is information related to if a single student is found to be cheating. I can't find anything on a whole class. If that makes sense. For a single student caught cheating, they have to take an integrity seminar, watch a powerpoint and answer questions, and can then redo the test/assignment for 50% credit.

If no one confesses, and DD is sure no one will because the teacher doesn't know who it was, DD's grades on tests for the period will be 95, 98, 0, and 1 more test the week of Oct 16. If she gets 100 on the last test for the grading period, her test average for the class will still only be a 73, which is a C. DD has never gotten a C before and is freaking out since everyone has drilled into their heads that the junior year grades are most important for colleges. [/quote]
