[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  An assistant principal at a FCPS.

The background is that my DD finished her HW that was not due until a week later. Her classmate asked to see and she send a copy to her.  DD did not think about the other kid may copy hers but the other kid did without her knowing.  School took disciplinary action on both equally based on the claim that there is a rule "somewhere" that both giving and receiving HW information is a violation. Got a F for the whole quarter.

I never heard of this rule and feel unfair. I can understand cheating and copying is a violation, but unknowing being copied by another?  This will obviously destroy her grade for the whole year and left a disciplinary record. [/quote]

You're an AP at FCPS?

I think that an F for the quarter is a huge over reaction to this, and I'd fight it, but at my school (not FCPS) kids are absolutely held responsible for making sure that others aren't copying for them.  They are specifically instructed that if someone says "Can I see your homework", or asks "What did you get on  . . . ?" They should refuse.  Sending someone your work so they can copy would be an honor code violation, and might result in an F on that particular assignment, or a replacement assignment, or a similar measured consequence.
