My kids in high school both have reported tons of cheating and even when kids are caught, not much is done so it ends up being low risk.

I work at a different HS and this is true. Teachers are frustrated but there is little we can do when we are not backed and forced to give second chances. Yes, many colleges are full of savvy cheaters. But remember, there are a lot of honest and hard working people out there too.

Unless OP provide more specifics about how the cheating occurs, I see this thread as a speculation or possible troll.

My DC also goes to MHS and they’re not aware of any kids bragging about cheating.

Then they are likely one of the cheaters. It happens a lot in the AP classes. Do the teachers walk around to ensure that the students are not using their phones during tests? Students are taking pictures of tests and sharing them with others. They are also using ChatGPT. There is another way that they are cheating but I don't want to post it here. I'll probably report it.

It has been happening for decades now. Big issue in the NJ governor’s race. Cheating became wide-spread as part of the participation trophy/striver generation and continues with today’s entitled/striver generation.

Report it.

Which class or subject is it happening in?

They wear the Meta glasses and take pictures.

How exactly is there cheating, what do they do

It’s at the colleges and universities, too.

Yes, they should turn them in! That is also part of the Academic Code—to report!

It's all schools. My DS at South Lakes talks about it all the time. Those in the first period of the day take pictures of tests and share with the later periods. No cell zone yet pictures are being taken. The classes and school itself are too large in size to properly manage

I know some students tried to do this a few years ago and the principal did nothing. My DC actually reported to the teacher when people cheated off of his paper- the teacher was responsive to it- but still continued to happen. I feel like it’s a lost cause!

There is widespread cheating at McLean HS. Students actually brag about it. Is there any way to turn in students?
