Subject: Re: inventions - cheating devices
I was a procter at a college. We had to escort students who need to use the
restroom. Well, we don't check inside the stall - but on the toilet paper, I
later noticed, there were answers for the history exam...
While proctoring for a math test at the same college, I asked a student to
keep his eyes on his own paper. Another student replied that in high school
the teachers always helped them with their tests...
In high school I was tutoring some students in the library. One girl said
that she got a 70 on her Bagrut - and that was thanks to her own efforts, as
she did not cheat. That was unusual, as often even the principal urges the
teacher to help students on the test. So the honest student (teacher?) has
become a rarity. That's why there are the psychometric tests...
