[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cell phones are supposed to be banned except for lunch. Granted, I know it's hard for a teacher to catch everything, but shouldn't they be able to catch a few? [b]I say this because in my child's math class, a student brought their phone out. The teacher saw, walked up and took the test right off the desk. Then the teacher said anyone else who was caught with a phone wouldn't just fail the test but the entire quarter. [/b] Threats like that can minimize cheating, I would think.[/quote] That's interesting, because if I see a kid cheating I also take their test away and give them an F. But at my school at least we're no longer allowed to decide the consequences. For me it used to be a zero with no chance of retake. Now I have to give them a retake capped at 80% for a first offense, then less credit for repeated offenses. It's ridiculous, but our hands are tied.[/quote]
