[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of cheating in Sidwell US, much worse since Covid [/quote]

The cheating in Sidwell’s [b]Chemistry 1A[/b] class (current sophomores) has been terrible this year! [/quote]

My DC has told me about so much cheating in the 10th grade Sidwell class. It's kind of hysterical and the administration seems so frazzled and have no idea what to do about it. I just tell DC to just not cheat and at the end of the day your brain is growing more. So many kids have not gotten caught. And FYI, they have empty threats to do anything about it.[/quote]

Teachers know exactly what to do to stop cheating: signed honor code with consequences for cheating before each assessment, collect all devices, backpacks at front of room, pockets emptied, assigned seating, multiple versions of tests, assign students to multiple testing rooms, increase # of proctors and have proctors proctor, not on phones or laptops, jackets / sweaters off, no unescorted bathroom breaks… but none of this will happen… perhaps Administrators are not allowing teachers to stop cheating. Cheating increases rankings, enrollments are down, endowments are down. The privates are too competitive to want to bother with all this blatant cheating [/quote]
