[quote=Anonymous]This seems a pretty ambiguous situation to me. At our school, kids are specifically encouraged to have a homework buddy or two that they can get notes/homework assignments/study group type help from if necessary.

At least at our school, forwarding someone your notes so they can copy them down happens frequently, makes sense, and is accepted practice. Definitely not cheating.

Since your DD's school requires the notes be turned in for a grade, I think that may change things. Honestly, if all the friend did was paraphrase the notes I'm not sure there would be an academic integrity violation there -- everyone's working from the same material after all (the lecture) and how would they handle anyone who was absent) but the fact that there could be, and how serious that would be for your DD, are things you should probably bring up in conversation with your DD so she can make a more informed choice in the future.

Out of curiosity, is your DD at a private school or an area public? I'm only asking because I have never heard of a school requiring notes turned in for a grade, and this is only the second time I have heard of requiring a specific type of notes, so I'm just curious if this is becoming a common practice/[/quote]
