  Case: The side look
I administer a test and I notice many of the kids occasionally giving a side glance to scan another child's test quickly. I am a little worried about disciplining a child, however, because, although I am almost sure that these glances are with intent I cannot legitimately prove it and would have to rely on the child's word. Any suggestions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
When it comes to exams, one thing I have noticed that has helped is putting up binders or blockers. This way, students will not be able to see what is going on in their surroundings. This can help with the glances. When it comes to discipline, you never want a student to feel embarrassed or hurt, this may lead to other behavioral issues, but cheating is not allowed and so if that is the expectation you need to address it. If you see students looking, pull them aside after the test or make them retake it in an isolated spot. If you notice the behavior continues, you may need to contact the student's parents.
