  Case: Teacher confides intent to cheat on state wide testing
A friend and fellow teacher comes into your room after the school day is done. She complains about the necessity of state wide testing and her opinion on the subject of state wide standardized testing. She further elaborates on the unfairness of the testing as it relates to her as a teacher based on student performance. She confides that she intends to falsify students responses on the test and states "who's going to know?". This event happens before the tests have started and you have not seen her act on her intent only what her intent maybe. Should her intent be reported before the event can take place or wait until she commits the act of falsify student responses before reporting it?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This must be reported to administration. This friend has just involved you in cheating on state tests! In a situation like this, you must protect yourself.

The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes
The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes

The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No
The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: It's not even necessarily about protecting yourself. This would negatively effect any student that took this teacher's test and potentially all students at the school, because then everyone would lose any credibility.
