Story: Students find new ways to cheat
It used to be such a hassle writing answers on your palms. Now it's as easy as surfing the web on your cell phone during a test. Or taking a picture of it, only to distribute copies to everyone else. Let's hand it to teens, they really have a grasp for creative uses of technology. Maybe this can help spur the debate for the actual value of test-taking.

I remembering trying to program answers into my TI-96, and I came out ok.
Let them be, if they are smart enough to get through a class that they'd rather spend their time on finding ways to get around the system than actually studying then fair play.
I proctor tests in North Carolina,the cell phones are collected before tests and put into a basket only to be returned when the class is over.The caculatirs are reprogrammed after each test.One thing many tests are made with 4 different versions,so one takes the purple test,person next t you has orange,behind you and in front of you all have different colors.The cheaters have made it to cheat!
If you're going to cheat, you should at least be creative like I was. When I needed a little "extra help" to get through a math test, I taught myself Arabic numerals and wrote the answers on my arms like they were Henna tattoos! My teachers were none the wiser, and now I'm actually learning Arabic.
