Today, I was a TA for a history class and the class was taking a test. About halfway through, I noticed one kid had a small piece of paper in his hand. I ran up the row, grabbed his test, and ripped it into four pieces. Then I took the note from him. It said "I believe in you, -Mom." FML

Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML
Today, I found out why my history grade is so low: the kid in front of me takes my homework, writes his name on it, and passes it off as his own. FML
Today, I attempted to cheat on a test by writing some notes on my hand. During the test I had a question. I raised my hand. FML
Today, I cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML
Today, I was passing notes in class with my crush. I started to pour my heart out and tell him about how I've liked him for years. I was caught by the teacher. He looked at it, laughed, and tore it up. He then looked at me and said, "I just saved you from years of embarrassment. You're welcome." FML
Today, we had a surprise test at school. I was totally unprepared for any of it, so I BSd the whole thing and turned it in. A few minutes later, our teacher said we were allowed to use our notes to finish the test. FML
Today, I was in my psychology class taking the hardest test ever. After I spent most of the period trying to fill in the few answers that I knew, I looked up to see everyone with their notebooks on their desks. It was an open-note test. FML
Today, I passed my math test with flying colors. My dad thought I had cheated, so he emailed the school and told them that I had. They lowered my grade. FML

#31 Zero tolerance always cracked me up. Academic institutions are supposed to be a place that fosters creativity, an individuals progression in learning, a place that allows for the opinions and thoughts of others to be part of the learning process... and then we have crap like this where there is no discretion, there is no thought to circumstance... Whatever, it was just a note, but christ, that kid put alot of effort in to that test, maybe spent ALOT of time studying over night, enough to where his mother noticed and left a note for him to help him do better... and what does the teacher do? Pays no attention to any of this, plays it by the books entirely.. Absolutely silly. Zero tolerance just seems to clash with the culture of academia *entirely*.

So what? There are two opinions: 1) Don't allow ANYTHING so you act was right 2) Read the s**t before you do something like that.

Number two is better. That is what I would have done!

#25 while you make a good point, that still doesn't excuse the fact that hit ripped up his test and THEN looked at the note. He wasn't cheating, if he was i would agree that ripping up the test (while extreme) is ok, but he wasn't. Sure, there are policy's that say "no paper" but regardless of that you should still look at the note before doing anything to the test. I hope this TA gets fired. I, like #17 would do what i could to get you fired if that happened to me.

I hope the kid punched you in the face because what you did was wrong. You should of at least confirmed what you saw before doing anything.

You should probably go kill yourself, lol. I don't know what I'd do in that situation, I'd feel so damn bad. I mean it was a note from his mom telling him she believes in him. Harsh

Oh please, that wasn't an asshole move. That kid should be smart enough not to be whipping out a piece of paper in the middle of a test. Though maybe the TA should have read the note first...nevertheless most of you are a bunch of overreacting *******.

Dude it's a nice thing his mom did for him and he was extremely worried. Why do you have to be such a dick.

Power trip for sure. Next time take the note and read it first. One would think that a TA would have to take the note and show it to the teacher, and the teacher would have to rip up the note - if it was a cheat sheet/what not.

#47 Fair enough. I wasn't on the same frequency as you on the issue I guess. And to be honest, you can't be THAT harsh on the TA... accidents/bad decisions happen to all of us. No need to tell the TA to off his/herself ...
