Well we lost our her hearing. She did a great job explaining what happened, the video showed her looking at her scratch paper but in the end they just want Honor Code convictions I guess. We knew going in their system was biased but I being the optimistic one thought justice would rule in the end. Not so much. I just am still in shock that they sat there and they listed to her appearing sympathetic and then screwed her in the end. Poor kid has severe test anxiety and watched the video and explained exactly what she is doing and they still found her guilty. I know her and the video clearly shows her freaking out because the teacher is staring at her and walking around her. She is doing her best to calm herself and it broke my heart to watch it. Please don’t comment that maybe she is really guilty because you don’t know my girl. NO ONE who knows her is not completely shocked that she has been accused of this. I just don’t understand why this has happened to her. She really has the worst luck. I am proud to say that through this whole process she was very respectful including looking straight at the professor who accused her of cheating and said I’m sorry my actions caused you to think I was cheating but I was not. I have raised a good kid too bad K-State hasn’t realized that.
Now for another question, she is set to graduate next year and cannot get in to this class next semester to repeat it because of her schedule and the classes are full. How bad is just leaving an F? She may eventually want to go to Grad school, will this affect her? It doesn’t help her GPA but honestly doesn’t hurt it as much as i tought it would. Any thoughts?
