Case: The teacher quietly walks over to the student and removes the test
During a 5th grade social studies exam, a teacher thinks that a student is cheating by looking at another student's paper across the aisle. The teacher quietly walks over to the student and removes the test. She tears the exam in half and drops it in the waste basket. Upon hearing about this situation, the student's parents are angry and demand a response from the principal in regards they view as an improper use of power. What ethical and legal considerations should the principal contemplate when addressing this issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There has to be some kind of proof, I have had students cheating. I move myself to be closer to them, then I allow them to finish their test. After class we have a conference about the cheating and they are allowed to defend themselves. I fortunately haven't had a student deny cheating, they always tell the truth. I think it has to do with not making a scene in the classroom and them having to save face. I then make them call their parents and explain to them what they did, then I get on the phone and talk to the parent and ask them if taking another test after school on their own would be a viable solution. This has worked in my favor so far. |

| Comments: I think this is really the best solution. It allows the student to save face and have a private conversation and involves the parents in a way that does not have their hackles raised because their child was disrespected. |
