[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is at a competitive magnet (not TJ). He is a junior and the pressure this year has really been getting to him. Last week, he had a big unit test and was caught cheating. The test was out of 50 points, and he received a zero, so obviously this is going to affect his grade a lot.

I agree that he should have gotten a zero, and he also received consequences at home. However, I really don't want him to get a B this semester since he is on track for T10s. I asked him to email the teacher about extra credit and how to raise his grade, but the teacher responded this morning saying they aren't going to allow that.

I really have no idea what to do. Should I email the teacher?[/quote]

No.

The cheating incident should be on his transcript, too. Colleges need to know about his poor character.[/quote]

My kids say that prob half the kids are cheating at school in various ways: chatbots, getting tests from friends, just openly cheating during makeup tests because proctor doesn't care, faking data in labs, etc. They're not that clandestine about it. A lot of teachers don't care. So not sure if it's the case for the OP, but the teacher may just be picking on one kid when a number of others could easily have been accused as well. [/quote]
