Cheating in Exams

Has anyone noticed cheating is rampant in school nowadays? This is, of course, asking the teachers and whatever education officials or whatnot who happened to stumble across this page.. Let me give you an example.. My seating in class is the very first row, the very first table.. I'll dub the person sitting behind me as A, and the person sitting in front of the person to my immediate right, which is the first person in the second row (facing the blackboard) as B.. When we were sitting for our Chinese 1 exam, B asked me to give him answers to 15 questions. B has no interest in Chinese at all, and so he's planning to take our Chinese teacher's suggestion to drop Chinese next year as he did not want to fail Chinese in PMR..He said since this was the last time he was taking a Chinese exam, he really wanted to pass it, even if it meant cheating. So I gave in and we reached an agreement. When the teacher wasnt looking, he would look at me and show me a question that he needed an answer to. Example: When he wanted the answer to question number 13, he would show me a 1 followed by a 3 using his fingers, and I on the other hand would give him a signal telling him if the answer was A, B, C or D. I did this by touching a part of my face: A - the eyes, B - the nose, C - the mouth, D - the ears. Through this method, I gave him 15 answers for Chinese 1. Another method is to scrunch up pieces of paper and scattering them around the table. This will make it look like they're pieces of rubbish. When the time comes, you pick up the pieces of paper and scribble your questions onto the paper. This is done when the teacher is walking around the class or when she isnt looking. Then you pass it to the person behind you, like me, or you throw it to whoever you want, also when the teacher isnt looking. That person then gives you the answers and then gives it back to you. Efficient if you do it right. One more very devious method is left for me to introduce to you. Im sure most people out there are familiar with the alphabetical capabilities of the Casio fx-570MS scientific calculator, right? In case you didnt, this calculator can be used to type out all the letters of the alphabet except Q, V, W and Z. J, L and S is substituted by the number 5, which looks like those.. Now during the Mathematic 1 test on Friday, which is yesterday, we were allowed to bring in our scientific calculators for the exam. We were baby-sitted by a teacher whom i will not name. This teacher is very strict and his/her wrath is not to be tested. Then i had a problem with question number 37, to which i could not find the answer, no matter how hard I tried. But since I could not turn around or pass notes or anything for fear of the teacher, I did something very (pardon my arrogance) clever..Well, I dont think it qualifies as clever, but.. Using my 570 calculator, i typed in the words 1f CORRECT h1T mE which comes across as 'If correct, hit me' and angled the calculator so he could see. Hoping A behind me had noticed, i typed 37.A i heard a rustling of papers, but no response. Good, he knew what I wanted. 37.B, i typed. Stil no response. Then i typed 37.C ..and he subtly, ever so subtly nudged my back. BINGO!! Now is that sweet or what? Haha.. The point of this post is, it is very very easy to cheat in exams since teachers dont really notice what you are doing. However, if the teacher does actually pay more attention to the movement of students in class, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AT ALL!!! So, teachers and whatnot, I issue you a challenge. Try to catch us. There's a few cheaters in every class. Well, except maybe 2g and 2h. But my point is made. Touche.
