[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How exactly is there cheating, what do they do [/quote]

My DH is a high school math teacher - not in FCPS.  But I'm sure they way they cheat in his high school happens in every high school in the country.  Kids were doing the same thing when I was in high school 35 years ago.

My DH gives out two versions of a test.  Larla gets copy A.  Lurlu gets copy B.  Larla sits next to Lurlu.  
Copy A.  Question #1: 4+4 = ?
Copy B.  Question #1: 6 - 1 = ?

Larla writes 4+4=8  Lurlu writes 6-1=8.

Lurlu obviously has obviously looked at Larla's test and copies the answers that Larla has written.  What my DH doesn't know is if Larla has helped Lurlu.  Did Larla put her paper so close to the edge of her desk so Lurlu can see her answers?  Or is Larla completely innocent?  He catches this type of cheating every single year when he gives the first test of the year.  After that first test, he tells the students that he has caught the cheating and the copying off the neighbor usually stops.[/quote]
