[nfb-talk] cheating for students in junior/high schools and in college?

[Bonnie Ainsworth]

Oy!  I never did cheat on tests because the opportunity never presented 
itself, nor would I have thought of doing it in all honesty.  For me, that 
was good.  I had to study hard on my math, science, English, the whole nine 
yards.  My Mom spells very well, so she would make me practice.  Also, my 
parents wouldn't let me up from the table where I had to do my homework 
until it was complete.  I used large print in school, and thought my teacher 
or the other students might have the ability to see my answers, so I never 
took any chances.  If I had children, I'd also instill these values in them 
and would ask them to work just as hard as I had to.  <smile>

Today I have choices. I can stay in a bad mood, I can stay in a bad moment. 
Or, I can let them pass me by.--unknown

Hi All,
I'm new on the list.
I am writing a paper on cheating in school, and how the methods and
level of difficulties differ from blind vs. sighted students.
For instance, how easy is it for a blind student to cheat on a test,
with the loopholes he or she is given (taking the test home, due to time
constraints, is one example.)
Also, what should be done with a cheater once he or she is caught?
A talk, detension, suspension?
I'd love to here your thoughts, posative and negative.
