Student’s response to cheating

Today I caught two HS freshman cheating on their math quiz. No attempt to hide the scanning of the quiz with whatever AI app they’re using this week. Phones are collected and different versions are given. This was a kid with two phones (awkwardly common) and she was scanning the other girls quiz.

I told them I’m not taking them and you can try it again on Monday (I know, I know… my admin will mandate a re-assessment, so I don’t have much of a choice). So when I put in the 0 for clear and obvious cheating, the two of them go bananas and start swearing and filming me saying I’m trying to “get them” with zeros. Had to have them removed from class.

So today was a typical day. Hope you all made it to the weekend intact.
