I admit... I did cheat on several occaisons on major tests in high school, but who didn't?

List of things I have done in my high school days(College days is a lot tougher and not worth the risk):

Copy work from a friend/classmate

Copy a work that was on the internet but put in to my own words without citation
put science and math formulas in graphing calculators.

text messaged multiple choice answers back and forth on a cell phone

type up a french essay on a paper thats 1" x 1" using size 2 font and wrapped around the inside of a clear pen.

Get up to ask a question, while walking look at turned in papers lying on the desk.

Have your backpack open in a way that you can see your notes, yet appears as though your back pack is zipped up

Tape a "cheat sheet" to the back of a calculator cover

and many more "techniques" I and many students have mastered over the years. I am not surprised that the camera phones are now being used... heck, I would probably have done the same if they existed back then.

BTW... the sad fact is that most students do cheat, one way or another. You can compare students to professional atheletes. The sucessful student or athelete need the "upper hand"... the student cheats by copying, the successful athelete by taking supplements/steroids.
