[quote=Anonymous][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]

Yeah no.   Nobody is picking on the cheater.   I wouldn’t say half are cheating but the worst are the grade grubbers and teachers don’t like them anyway so they won’t let it slide.  Teachers do care.   It’s really tiresome for people to claim over and over that teachers don’t care.   Most do.  [/quote]
