[quote=Anonymous]My DD who is a freshman in high school left her math folder on the table and I noticed she has a handful of papers with a friends name on them. I wasn't sure if she was copying notes or what but when I looked at them I noticed that she was copying Math assignments from a friend who has the same math class (different periods) as her. She has never mentioned having trouble in math, always performed well on tests in the past and has never gotten anything below a B.

I asked her why she had another girls school work and she told me all of the 5th period Geometry kids copy off their friends in 3rd period Geometry. She said that their teache doesn't check math homework for right/wrong, she just checks to see if it's done and she told me that doing it "is a waste of time." I don't even know where to begin. I'm so upset that she thinks it's not important to actually do the work, also that she thinks it's ok for a friend to do all the work and she benefit from it. I told her this stops now and she told me I was overreacting and didn't understand how high school worked.

Is this happening with your kids? I think a punishment is in order but not even sure what an appropriate consequence would be. [/quote]
