caught cheating by substitute teacher

<p>So I have a really bad dilemna T_T</p>

<p>We had a substitute teacher today, and I decided to take a small cheat sheet out for a test. I ended up getting caught, but the substitute teacher let me finish the test. Later, the sub said he would tell the teacher what he saw, and place my test in the “cheating pile”. (Another girl in my class also glanced at a sheet of paper). </p>

<p>Anyways, I decided to cheat because I thought this substitute was really chill (I had him before for 2 days, and one of the days he even said 'I don’t care what you guys do…I just cant get in trouble" or something along those lines). But anyways today he seemed really serious about not cheating, and he said “I will make your life miserable for the next 2 days if I catch any of you cheating”. Although he sounded serious, I actually thought he was kidding…anyways that was a stupid judgement</p>

<p>So the status quo is that he is going to tell my teacher about what he saw, and let her handle the situation. I have this sub again on monday and tuesday, and I really hope I can change this situation.</p>

<p>I know I deserve this, and I’m stupid, but I’ve really put too much effort throughout the year to be failing. Do you think there is anything I can do at this point? Could I just say that I had the sheet on my desk and wasnn’t looking at it?</p>

<p>Good game.</p>

<p>If you put enough effort in to make a cheat sheet, I think it’s fair to say you’ve put in enough effort to fail.</p>

4

<p>There is nothing you can do at this point, just wait and see what your teacher is going to do.</p>

<p>I would just leave it the way it is instead of keeping on arguing about it, and talk it out with the teacher after he comes back. Depending on how serious the cheating is, sometimes the teacher would just let it go after giving you a warning or something, as it usually happens at my school. Or you’ll fail just this one test, which is not the end of the world. There’s no point saying that you weren’t looking at the paper. You obviously knew exactly what you were doing, so it’s kind of pointless, even slightly annoying, to deny it.</p>

<p>However cool the sub might be, if he sees somebody engaged in some kind of scholastic dishonesty, not reporting it becomes scholastic dishonesty on his part.</p>

<p>Most likely you’ll get a 0 on the assignment. All you can do is take your lumps and not ask that teacher for a college recommendation letter. If it makes you feel any better, this same scenario repeats itself in college for students who didn’t get caught in high school. A student who got caught cheating in my class last year lost his scholarship because of it and ended up having to leave the university.</p>

<p>You absolutely do deserve it. Take the 0, make it a point never to cheat again, and go on your merry way.</p>

8

<p>depends on the teacher, you might get to re-take it and could only earn a 50 or something like that</p>

9

<p>You might look more responsible if you just take a 0 for it to prove that you’re serious about it.</p>

10

<p>Go all mission impossible and sneak in at night and take your paper out of the cheat stack and into the not-cheat stack. Or just let it all happen, eh. You’ll likely just get the 0. Life will go on.</p>

<p>I’m just surprised the sub cared that much. The ones at my school are either laughably crazy or fall asleep but they’d never notice or care about someone cheating. Then again, teacher don’t give tests out during sub days.</p>

<p>^Haha, love the mission impossible idea. If only you have an invisibility cloak on hand! And a multi-functional key.</p>

12

<p>whatever its 1 test. next time be smarter and write on your hand or on the desk or make a small cheat sheet that you can roll into a pen. not really sure what you can do now.</p>

<p>today our class had a french quiz with a sub. We basically weedled half the answers out of her. She even looked over my shoulder and corrected a mistake for me. LOL</p>
