----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy Givati" <jesg50@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fav "cheater"stories I have "enjoyed" the various stories and plans to catch kids who copy work... Here are 2 of my favorites... 1) I know that the child was dishonest..When I asked him to explain his answers on tests .he always claimed "The test was last week so I don't remember!" Then I had him sit on the seat directly in front of my desk but didn't manage to figure out how he did it!!! Until I stood in the back of the classroom and saw the notes he had written on the front of my desk!!! 2) The project was to find a recipe , write the ingredients and the instructions in English. Of course the girls had no idea what they meant when they wrote a 10 inch pan or 350 degrees!! But the payoff came when ....as Bogie said "of all the joints in the world......(or something similar)..of all the magazines ine English in the world..they just happened to have a teacher who never throws out magazines and just happened to have the same one they copied from!!!! jesg ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - www.etni.org ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
