[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is in his first year of college and was shocked at the fact that both his Physics and Chem professors in college handed out formula sheets during all exams. He said his favorite part about college so far is that it's not based on "useless bleeping memorization" which DS is terrible at.

The text I got was: MOM! You'll never believe this! My Physics professor gives us a formula cheat sheet. He told us he was going to but I didn't believe him so I still memorized as many as I could. I thought I was cooked, bro, but he's a real one. He said memorizing a formula doesn't count for anything in the real world if you can't use it to produce a result.

And DS' grades in his math and science courses have never been higher. He can do the work and knows how to use the formulas; he could just never remember all the formulas. [/quote]

That’s great for your son, but this isn’t how kids are cheating in high school.  They aren’t bringing in formulas.  They are taking photos of test with cell phones they snuck in to share with each other or they are looking up answers on cell phones hidden on the internet.  [/quote]
