People in my class copy each other for tests in math class, How come my teacher sees them but lets them?

Your teacher could get into alot of trouble but your teacher probably looks at things like this if they are going to cheat expect there answers to come out wrong and if it doesnt then they got away with it. Than again every teacher has a booklet they are supposed to write in it about every student every day so if three of your classmates are cheating on test she has to put that in her book. But if you feel as though its becoming a problem with you than i suggest you try and talk with her to ease your mind with whats being done with this case because its not right that these guys pass and you get a failing grade. So ease your mind and ask your teacher whats up with all this and tell your teacher that you dont think its right when you work so hard to pass and other students dont work that hard. GOOD LUCK

1. Give different versions of the test so they can't copy their work. \n2. Work in pairs.\n3. What about money for some more to help you with your teaching??

Copying information from websites is called plagiarism, and some schools have software which can tell if you have tried to pass someone else's work off as your own.

These people probably have had a bad experience in their life at one time or another with a teacher, thus they think all teachers are the same.  Hopefully, they will run into a wonderful teacher that will change their lives forever.

Sounds to me like your new trig teacher is stupid and doesn't see your potential and she might be afraid that you might actually be smarter than her.  As for algebra alot of the teachers do require showing your work on test is shows that you understand the problem and are able to preform all steps to get it.  I know in your case you can do them in your head but the work always needs to be shown.  Keep at it and try going to a tutor or when you turn old enough take a higher math course at a community college and get your extra homework from them.  Good Luck and i hope all goes well.

And another thing - won't this person's teacher know (s)he cheated, when the assignment turned in clearly isn't in the student's usual wording or of his/her usual quality? In this day and age, teachers must be pretty good at spotting "cut-and-paste-from-wikipedia"-papers, as well as papers written by other people than the student in question.\nAnyway, thanks for bringing this up, it's nice to see that a lot of people are somewhat annoyed by students using Y! answers as their free, effortless homework-service. :o)

There are plenty of students who are put into a new class where they don't like the teacher and don't know any of the other students.  Don't spend too much time worrying about whether you are being discriminated against, and do your best to learn from this teacher.  You might find out that you like him/her a lot.

Some times its better to keep it all good without crap, but simetimes a teacher is just asking for the crap. Its okay to have a little crap, but keep the crap level low and quality level high :)

well you pretty much screwed yourself, some teachers may not be so nice as to give a make up exam. If you intent on cheating but then backed out, then thats not really anyones fault but yours. The teacher doesn't know if you actually cheated or not and looked at your hand.  \n\nTake this situation for example. An old man chats with someone online that he thinks is a 14 year old and asks to meet when its a police officer pretending to be 14. While he's about to meet the person he decides its wrong and turns around. He is caught by the police. he tells police he thought about it but then decided not to go ahead in meeting that person. Do you really think the police will believe him?

I remember once having a teacher give us a copy of a multiple choice test, telling us that that would be the EXACT test.\n\nWhat did I do?  I took a Magic Rub eraser and systematically punched holes in it with my mechanical pencil.  Each row of pinpricks would represent an answer to a question.  1 hole for an A, 2 for a B, 3 for a C, and so forth.  If anyone else saw it, they wouldn't suspect anything at all because they wouldn't know the orientation of the rows. How'd I do on the test?  A+!\n\nFor you, I'd say this.  Have your group sit within visible distance of each other's hands.  Whatever signals you use, don't make noise of any sort.  Wave your pencil sideways "x" times to signal the question number.  Nod the pencil up and down "x" times to signal the answer (1 for a, 2 for b,c, or d).  Then have a "reset" signal in case you incorrectly signaled something, maybe scratch your head.

An informal proof in the mathematics literature requires weeks of peer review to be checked, and may still contain bugs.\n\nWhen asked in geometry class to prove something by your teacher, you are giving an informal proof.

You need to have one wall different and brighter than the others.  Its a psycology trick used in almost every school classroom.

Depends on the like though! I've aways wanted my teachers to like me because i was good at my work,but teachers are human, we tend to see them as walking encyclopedias - it would be good to know them as they really are people with feelings, family, dreams like everyone else too don't you think?

I'm assuming that your prof. has this as part of the regular process of writing papers in this class? There are at least two good reasons for having other people besides the teacher review your work. \n\n1) It helps other people learn how to proofread and give constructive feedback\n2) It helps YOU learn how to take feedback from other people -- that's going to be a fact of life, particularly at work. Get used to it.\n\nIt's all part of the learning experience. You need to learn to handle it. Take what's useful and leave the rest. I think it would be a huge mistake to refuse to let someone else read your paper.

Sorry, it sounds as if your teacher is being completely fair in this regard. It would have been different if your teacher had refused to accept your test, which he could have done.

I had a friend once and she lied ALL the time and even copied my homework but were still friends becuase she is like the only person I have as a freind but I learn to deal with it and now she DONT cheat off of me but we do help each other with our homework she still lies a little bit but maybe it may help if you give her WRONG answers one day then maybe she may ask for HELP on her homework and you two do it together instead of her coping you.
