Case: Cheating
Last week, I was giving a unit test. The day before the test, a male student of mine who sits in the back of the classroom wrote some answers on his desk. I found the written test answers at the end of the school day. I know it was this student because he is in my last class of the day in that seat and I know for sure it is his handwriting. While the student intended to cheat, he never was able to cheat on the test since I wiped off his desk. How would you handle this situation? Should intention to cheat be treated the same as actual cheating? Seems like a technicality but I would like some good professional opinions on how others would deal with this matter.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Possible Solution: How to handle this type of situation would vary for me based on the student. If this student has never been an issue, I would certainly address to the student that you know they were going to cheat and only because you removed the answers before the test, that you were not taking further action. I would let them know that if I so much as think that they could be cheating in the future, they will be given a "0" and written up for cheating. If it is no surprise to you that the student would try to cheat because of previous behavior, I would give them the grade(only because they were not able to cheat) and write them up. |

| Comments: I like this idea; inform the student you knew about the answers and make it clear that any future attempt at cheating will result in a write up and a grade of a zero. |

| Comments: This is exactly what I would do in this situation because you allow the student to change his behavior if this is a first offense. I like the option of giving the student a "0" if this is something that has been going on for a while. |

| Comments: I definitely agree that it an depend on the student. Writing them up could be very necessary. But especially if the student has never performed such actions, it may be useful too look at the situation further and talk with the student to see why such actions are happening. Granted cheating should never be excusable, but there could be a major issue affecting the child's performance in school. |

| Comments: Cheating is an act of moral misconduct, and therefore should be treated the same regardless of which student does, or almost does the deed. |

| Comments: I agree that you need to know the student. I would start by talking to them. Since they did not GET to cheat I would set a big example with them, explain the cheating policy and get to the bottom of it. |
