Live from the AH Midterms
October 27th, 2006
Most Russians cheat in school. Most Russian schools give out too much work. If you want a Red diploma (magna cum laude), you are going to cheat to get everything done perfectly. Students have come to accept cheating as the norm. Because of this, the AH teachers are proctoring our exams looking for people copying or for cheat sheets (шпаргалка).
If the student cheating is mine, I get to rip up their test. So far, my students are either more clever than I or are too afraid to chance the exam. I’ve already graded the first few tests, and most of my students passed, which is better than average for the other teachers.
Yesterday I found 1 cheat sheet, but the student wasn’t mine. Today looks to be a lot more boring.
