You also suspect that other students are attempting to cheat when you are not looking directly at them. How should you handle this in an appropriate way? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would stop the test and collect the work they have already completed. The whole class. I would then have everyone stand up and move their desks further apart then i would mix up their seats and place them by different students to help avoid this problem. If this does not help you will need to handle students individually if you catch them cheating. Take their papers, call home and they receive a 0.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I can see where this could be thought to be a good idea, though stopping students in the middle of a test/exam is never a good idea.

I think that would be distracting and the students who are trying to focus would get messed up. This is something I wouldn't do in class.

Students can be taught a different way than this.

Not every child should be punished for the actions of a few students. They should not have to be disrupted from their test taking because of their peers.

You either have to start the class by having them space out their desks or announce the day before.

This is causing a huge distraction and time away from their test. Rated On: October 16, 2017 2:32 am Rated By: Ryduga
