<p>Opie and Atomom, as I stated in my original post: I told her before pointing fingers she should clarify with the teacher that this type of conduct is not acceptable and not permitted under the HC before naming names. If group work was expected/anticipated, she’ll know not to go any further. If she’s perceived as a tattler, so be it; IMO, I think there are far worse things.</p>

<p>That’s a horse of a different color.</p>
<p>They did cheat, but PROVING it is quite another thing…they didn’t cheat in class, they talked about it, but you know the girls will deny it, and then the reported will, unfortuneately be branded a “tattler” even though she was right</p>
<p>I would approach it a different way…I would contact the person in charge of academics with what happened, in this way perhaps:</p>
<p>During our last take home test in Class A, a couple of girls were talking about how they shared all the answers, each doing half then swapping</p>
<p>As they just talked about it and the cheating didn’t happen in class, I know there is probablly little to do about that particular test, but what exactly are the rules regarding what to do when one hears this kind of talk, from the sources?</p>
<p>I value our schools honor code, and want to do the right thing, just not sure how to handle this.</p>
<p>THere is a very good chance the GC or whomever will not share the identity of the reporter and will approach the girls, who you can be sure shared their little scam with others.</p>
<p>If the student has a good relationship with an administration figure at school, they will honor her wish to not be fingered as the person who reported the cheating, unless necessary, they do understand HS dynamics</p>
<p>My Ds had an issue with a teacher, who was just a flake, she and her friends went to a VP, and she said she would not say who was “complaining” unless it was necessary</p>
<p>I am not saying one should be embarrased about reporting kids breaking the rules, but HS can be rough, and if discretion can be used, why not</p>
