Bristol bans cheating in school

Bristol schools aren’t putting up with students who cheat anymore. A new anti-cheating policy now in effect gives administrators the power to suspend students who cheat, plagiarize, or otherwise undermine the academic integrity of the Bristol schools.

“We need students to understand that we’ll take a stand on this,” said Deputy Superintendent of Bristol Schools Susan Moreau, who drafted the anti-cheating policy after it was brought to her attention by a Bristol assistant principle that there wasn’t any piece of school doctrine that specifically dealt with cheating. – By Stefan Koski

Cheaters risk their future

In high school you will have to take many exams that aim to see how well you know what the teachers have taught you.

You have already taken many exams, but in high school you are going to have to continuously revise material you have gone over in class if you are to succeed. If you prepare a timetable and follow it well in advance, you shouldn’t have any problems come the day of the exams.

So, in the last days before that deadly geography exam, don’t cram in everything at the last minute because you will confuse yourself. It is a recipe for disaster! – John Elfed Hughes
