Cheating Mr. Wardhad a single pet peeve — cheating. Mr. Ward once told me of some of the ways students have tried to cheat. The list sounds like a resume for the movie Dumb and Dumber. 1. Student A intentionally " drops" his pencil an unusually far distance from his desk. So he stands up and waltzes slowly across the room to retrieve it. On the way he passes an innocent victim whose paper is slightly open. He bends over slowly to get the pencil and walks back slowly glancing at papers left and right. The funny thing is during multiple-choice objective tests, the pencils seemed to fall quite a lot. Where as short answer and proof tests had some magical spellover the pencils to keep them from falling. 2.The old cheat sheet has been used for decades. The idea is you get a piece of paper and you write down all the formulas, rules, notes, definitions, and everything else that you will need for the test. And some how get access to it, during the test. The most common way is with a tiny bit of paper taped to the inside of the kid's palm. Mr. Ward told m ethat one time the student gave the test with the hand with the cheat sheet stuck to it and Mr. Ward saw it instantly. 3. Two studentswho were very good friends decided that they didn't want to study for a test and they came up with an idea. One student remembers half of the formulas and the other remembers the other half. So when it came to test time, they would each take their half of the testand then tell the other person the answers. So what did they do? The answer was Morse code, with pencils.One kid would tap his pencil lightly five times indicating he needed the answer to number 5. Then the other kid would tap what ever the answer was. Furthermore, they had a whole system worked out for fractions, decimals, equations, and everything else.
