I actually had a kid steal my answer book. I caught him when he wrote for his 
answer:
"Answers will vary."
 
I always used to tell kids the lengths I would go to to catch cheaters. On one  
homework assignmenta kid who wrote something about the "ocean" for the setting 
so I knew he was cheating (NO ocean)--- but I had to find out from whom. I went 
thru every paper till I found a kid whose paper said " The scean was very 
important."  He had misspelled scene and in script it looked like ocean. Of 
course, I easily caught the cheaters when 2 papers described a character as a 
"curmudgeon." I used to spend more time looking for the kids who copied from 
others than anything else.
