@tigerman333 All my college mail is physical letters. I have so many, it’s ridiculous.
! Just learned that my school is probably adding new classes next year!
@ThatOneWeirdGuy Our classes have around 30-40 people, but it’s not really that big. It’s pretty easy to do, you just take out your phone under your desk when the teacher is at their desk or not looking. Does this really not happen at your school?
@Faultystart what classes?
@dsi411
1.) There’s a huge risk that the teacher will see
2.) No, my school isn’t competitive at all.
I don’t have a problem with the college emails, I like to look at them sometimes, and sometimes they give you free stuff. The University of Minnesota said they’d send me a small gift for filling out the mailing list form, I haven’t gotten it yet, though.
@pseudoprimal Environmental History since 1800, Introduction to Archeology, Biotechnology, and Computer Engineering. Some of them sound fun!
I’ve gotten so many freaking college emails it’s annoying. I don’t really care about free stuff, either.
@ThatOneWeirdGuy at my school, half the teachers sit in their desks on the time; it’s pretty easy to use your phone under your desk.
I figured out what the huge cheating scandal one was, by the way: last year, someone took a picture of the final first period and sold the pictures.
@topaz1116
LOL… How do they even advertise that? You’re bound to get in trouble if you post it on facebook or a teacher catches wind of it.
@ThatOneWeirdGuy it was probably either over Facebook or word of mouth, but basically half the junior class got in trouble for it. I mean, they did get caught.
Also I don’t want to study for Chem.
Cheating is pretty unusual in my school so any kind of cheating is pretty shocking.I go to an all girls Catholic school and we have to wear skirts for our uniforms. So a bunch of people started writing formulas and stuff on their upper thighs so that when they were testing they could just pull up their skirts a little bit to look at the notes. The smart part about it was that even when the teachers suspected people cheated in that way, they couldn’t tell the students to pull up their skirts cause that would be inappropriate and unheard of in my school. Long story short, a lot of people got in trouble and had to go to cheating assemblies and whatnot.
Loving the 53 notifications guys and no I’m not being sarcastic
It’s so funny we are talking about cheating because literally just today, there was a cheating scandal going on in AP Environmental that the teacher revealed to us. Let me tell ya, this teacher is bitter and mean and just… b****y but…
Apparently a girl in another class period found the test bank for the textbook online, printed them, and started giving them to her friends in that class period. one day before a test, they all took out their test banks and were doing last minute memorizing before the test, and the teacher saw it on their desks and well…
They didn’t think they had been cheating which is why they were stupid enough to study it under the teacher’s nose. The girl literally showed the website where she found them to the teacher.
Now this happening ruined all of our lives because she took away our test corrections, extra credit opportunities, homework grades, and lab grades. So now all we have are tests which she now makes by herself. You can imagine how hard she makes them. She told us she laughed at all the 30’s and 20’s on the tests.
So now because of a few people cheating, we are ALL getting punished. She literally said to us “I know you guys didn’t have the test bank, but I am still punishing you all because I am angry.”
WHAT THE HECK. I’m so mad and upset. Idk what to do lol…
She also said “I can’t take it to administration because they don’t think it’s cheating, so I’ll just punish you myself.”
She’s crazy. I understand what the girl did was bad, but… why are we all being punished? She’s basically ruining our lives. She said she’s no longer giving lessons and just is putting powerpoints on blackboards. It’s like we are all getting the backlash, while that girl ran free. She probably doesn’t even care what she has caused. But just one thing: why would you bring the stupid test to school and use it under the teacher’s nose!!! And what got our teacher suspicious was how the students went from an F to the class to a 100. -_- Are you really really really that clueless??
If you decide you are going to be criminal enough to cheat like that, why would you make it so obvious and now she’s gotten EVERYONE in the doghouse.
I really didn’t even know what a test bank was. The lengths people go to cheat… dang
Yea cheating is a huge problem at my school.
I’m really frustrated about my Spanish Midterm. Half of the test is a listening/watching a video portion, but it was extremely hard. They literally made us watch the news in Spanish, with no pictures. They talked super-fast and I couldn’t understand any of it. Even my friend, who’s half spanish (she’s fluent, not masterful but still) said it was really difficult for her to understand.
I’d like to say as a sophomore to freshman, DO NOT take this first year lightly, as freshman year sets up everything.

Literally, retweet @joeyl11
@topaz1116
Ohh ok, I was gonna say… I don’t know how people can take risks where there’s a greater than 50% chance of them getting caught and having huge consequences.
We had midterms before break. :3
There was a cheating scandal at my school in APBio so someone took pictures of the test the day before the exam and sent it to a group chat and they answered everything and memorized the bubbles so the day they took it they just recited the bubbles.
HOWEVER the teacher found it and switched up the bubbles so it was pretty obvious who did and did not cheat.
Haha.
Another time during midterms one teacher let a kid listen to music while typing the english essay and the person was listening of a recording of a pre-typed essay (everyone received the essay question day before).
I would’ve never thought of that! I don’t cheat but if I was a cheater that’s genious lol
Also why you don’t cheat:
- You get caught
- Bad impressions
- You are a risktaker? And I’m not a risk taker definitely
Question to @SallyStephens why is the teacher mad that the kids found her test online… I would consider that “using my resources” and I think that’s the teachers fault for taking tests she knows could have been found online. There are a few teachers at my school too lazy to make their own tests and just find all the assignments online. Especially with the AP Enviro teacher (not in this class but this is the psycho teacher who hates me from biology last year). She gave the kids the website with the answers to a worksheet and got mad and gave everyone a 0 for using the website LOL she called them plagiarizers okay well you find all your worksheets and tests online.
Anyways with this same teacher last year, I found one of her tests online because I was going around doing practice quizzes. It looked similar to the last test she had given us (formatting and font) so I sent it to a few people, and it basically got to the whole class (except I think some people had found it on their own in the first place without me finding it so it spread faster). Some kids didn’t think they would get caught with the answers ON THEIR DESK because she always just sits at her desk during the test. Someone even put the answers in their sock! anyways she caught them all which was really dumb on some people’s part for putting answers blatantly in front of them. 3 of the offenders got a zero. I am really glad I wasn’t there that day because it would have been a waste. She threw that test out after some people had worked on it for 2 hours which caused tons of drama… anyways in the end yeah NEVER blatantly put answers on your desk!
In AP Human Geography my teacher has some sort of test bank or something… anyways one day I was practicing for one of the tests and I found his tests online. Seriously I don’t understand why these teachers get so mad when students just find all the tests online that is there fault for not making sure its not online before hand. I dont think thats cheating at all… I think its using your resources so I think your AP Environmental Teacher is the one at fault, in my opinion. Obviously some of you may disagree with me but that is what I think.
