Today, I was grading work my students had done with a sub. I realized one student had gotten hold of the teachers' edition of the textbook when I read ten papers in a row that had "Student answers may vary" as the answer to problem number four. My students can't even cheat properly. FML

Op here. As most teachers will tell you, kids cheat all the time and badly, too. I usually write my own tests and worksheets and only write up answer keys when I need them, which does cut down on cheating. I didn't even realize I had a teacher's edition of the textbook until I came across those answers. On that day I had a family emergency and figured book work practice for an upcoming test would be fine. I did talk to the students involved and their parents. Unfortunately, several of the kids involved are habitual truants and failing my class anyway, so suspension, detention and a zero on the assignment don't mean much to them. A few of the kids involved, though they struggle, do come to class everyday and try, they just made a stupid decision. After a long (and embarrassing for them) talk with me, they (hopefully) have learned a lesson about cheating and blindly following others.

Should write "Teacher grades may vary. See me after class" on all those that attempted to cheat but failed miserably.

Sucks for them! I hope you suspended them or gave them a grade they deserved.

They're going places. Not college places, but places.

Mannnn... its just sad when students can't even cheat properly anymore. I mean has this generation gotten that lazy? Yeah its bad to cheat but when its that bad... I don't even know what to say to that.

If they needed to cheat, probably they aren't that smart... FYL OP

How come 26 got downvoted? I can't be the only one who thought it was funny, right? Right? Right!?
