I guess that is good parenting from my perspective, because to any kid they'll agree that is good parenting when they get in trouble. If you get in trouble with something as big as that you would want to get off easy; it's better then getting grounded . Though the dad might punish him a little later when he least expects it. I think he does consider he wife equal just that he doesn't want his kid to take a big punishment as the one his mom was going to give him. It seems to me Dan is close to his dad why else would he not let his wife give his son a punishment like that?
No way that was terrible parenting but I wouldn't mind getting of with that kind of punishment for doing something as serious as cheating on a midterm though but it was still bad parenting.
I can infer that maybe Dan's dad was a slacker in his school years and now is using his good connections to get his son out of trouble who seems to be a slacker too. I can also infer that they are probably a family of wealth because of all the toys Dans got plus this also ties in with the inequality thing Dan's moms got a position of power within the school and now shes able to get him out of such a severe punishment, by listing all she does for the school with fundraising. I also feel Dan's dad doesn't consider his wife his equal because he can so much as put his hand up and veto her judgement at a snap of a finger too.
Dan's father was nice but that was bad parenting because now dan might think that he can do anything as long as he has his dad to back him up so he might do somthing even worse next time i think he does consider his wife equal but mybe he was giving dan another chance so he doesn't do it agin.
I think that Dan's father is an incompetent,mediocre individual.Of course,you can't insult people like that.If he believes that cheating is acceptable,he must of had a history of being the class clown or delinquent of the the classroom.This might influence Dan into what he has become now.A mediocre,pathetic shrivel that will continue to cheat until he is stopped by a great loss or realization
I think Dan's father is not really that serious when it comes to parenting hee is bad at it,to me it seems he is rying to set a bad example for Dan instead of being a good responsible parent.
That was not good parenting because why would someone want their child cheating,like that is wrong,Dan's father is not a good parent to me I think he is a bad father that doesnt care for his kid but can support him at times when something bad goes on.
I think he doesnt consider his wife equal because he is just going against her word not letting her raise her own son right and I really think if he keeps dong this to his family the the best thing to do is to just divorce the dude and leave with Dan.
I think Dan's father is a nice father because Dan was caught cheating and usually parents would get really upset but his father was like "No it's ok. Everyone cheats. It's not a problem" I don't really think it was good parenting though because now Dan knows that if he cheats, it won't be that big of a deal so he could just continue cheating. And when his Mom was listing punishments, his Dad was like No give him a break. But if there are less to no consequences in a problem, then Dan will continue cheating because he doesn't get in a lot of trouble. So I don't think it was good parenting. I'm not sure if he considers his wife his equal because whatever she said, he would but in and say "hey wait a minute. It's not that big of a deal." and "Boys will be boys" so I don't think that Dan's father thinks of his wife as his equal.
That parenting was... terrible.But how could you tell the father? He might deny it and then dismiss.Unless concrete evidence is given,Dan's father will continue to make himself think he is a good parent,by passing his values and morals. But that's the thing,are we able to question the morals and values of a family?
If we can tell someone that their views on cheating are incorrect,would they actually realize this and then try to change themselves?
By saying that the cheating is something that everyone does,then he is saying that cheating is okay.He accepts the fact that sometimes people need to bend the rules so they can be successful.It's unfair,but we all do it. It's something we know the answer to,but we'll continue to do it.
@sharpshooter if they get off easy, then that would make them feel like they can do it again because it's not that bad of a punishment. But you don't want your kid to continually cheat, giving them a large punishment will let them know that they shouldn't cheat and they won't because they don't want to get in that trouble again.
I think Dans father is more of a laid back person, but can still be a serious person. He wouldnt be the one to choose sides, like in the book where he is making things better for Dan but still agreeing with his wife.
I think that his parenting was alright, because his father had been understanding with Dan, and didnt make Dan feel like his father never expected anything like this to happen. Its not like Dan would never make a mistake, his father understood that Dan had made a mistake, and Dan will now learn from it.
What I think of Dan's father is he is a nice person and like to here the whole story before he decides a punshiment.So when dan got caught cheating his dad herd what dan mother said but then said that"woh there just kids" to when his mother grounded him and took away his computer.
I dont think that was good parenting because dan cheated on a mid-term exam not just a quiz and not only did he cheat but he got a failing grade.If it was good parenting his parents would have gone into a lecture about how cheating is wrong instead his dad said how people cheat everyday and its ok.
No I dont think he considers his wife his equal because if he did he would have took her thought on the problem into consideration but he didnt instead he went with his own way and got dan in lesz trouble then he was suppost to get into.
I think Dan's father is nice but isnt a good parent because even though saying he isnt proud , hes really not showing that.This mothers reaction i think i was alittle too strong because she was trying to think of all the punsihments she could.When Dan's father did well nothing and he cheated on his mid-term....which isnt a little thing and by saying everyone cheats, its like he almost provoking him and sying its ok
@Alyssa I doubt will cheat again though because theres more on the line than just a punishment from his parents if suspended he could have been booted off the football team and by the way Dan talks about the football team you could tell he really enjoys it and wouldn't want to be kicked off or risk his position on the team.
I really don't think he treats his wife equal.When he acted like everything was fine with cheating,and he distracted the mother so Dan could leave,you read about how he made a gesture.He treated his wife as an inequal by taking away her power (somehow) and letting Dan go.
But the right answer is to have all three of them sit down together and have them all talk about the cheating situation.After that,they can come up with that cheating is wrong,and that they should come up with a way (maybe studying or tutoring) so Dan doesn't have to turn to cheating when he is lazy or can't understand.
I think that his father has done a lot of cheating in his life because he didnt pay much attention to the matter of his son was cheating and I think that he doesnt really care much about it becasue he said "everyone cheats..everyone." the way he said tells his son he can do it again and it wont matter much.
I dont think that his fathers parenting is so good because his use of language is telling his son that he can do it again and it wont matter, andsay if he does do it again and gets kicked out of school then what? Sure he is doing part of his job by not taking the matter way too seriouly but he shouldnt have said "Everyone cheats ..... Everyone" because it it encourages his son that its not a big deal. His father doesnt have too bad parenting either because he made Dan feel what hes done but then again didnt tell him what would ahppen if he does this again so still it was bad parenting.
I dont think his father considers his wife his equal because she gets to controlive and hes not so much. He probably thinks his wife jumps to too may conclusions too quickly while she probably thinks that he doesnt care.
I think Dan's father is the old fashion type of father, he would be on his son's side and as well as his mother's side. He was right, everyone cheats and make mistakes, but you shouldn't be hard on the kid for making just one mistake and getting caught for cheating.
I think he did do good parenting, he was showing Dan to never cheat again and everything will be fine.
I don't think Dan's father and his wife is equal because the mother was saying how he banned from such things and the father is saying how just leave him alone.
What do you think of Dan's father? I think Dan's father is a good father even though he let the problem go. He cares about his son and he doesn't think he should be in trouble because he is just a kid and kids usually cheat on their test.
Was that good parenting? I cant say that was good parenting but it was somewhat good because his wife wanted Dan to have all these punishments but he did not want that because all he did was cheat. So Dan's father does not think that he should be in all that trouble but he was a little disappointed. Many parents would yell at their child and give them a lot of punishments, but Dans father disagreed with that.
@Gurinder that's true the father is accepting the fact that people cheat to be successful but I don't think that's what you want to tell your kids. It's like telling them "Cheating is ok. If you do it, we don't really care because everyone does and you won't get punished for it." That's bad parenting.
@Alyssa, just because not many consequences are given doesnt mean that Dan will continue to cheat, because what if there were more consequences Dan would be pretty upset and maybe cheat even mopre or do something worse.
I Think Dans Father, Is Cool, Because he Disipilined Dan Alittle, But Then Again, Its Only Cheating, So It Isnt A Big Deal, Boys Will Be Boys Is Right !So Really Dans Father Is A Good Father, Even though he Let The Problem Go, He Doesnt Think He Needs To Discipline His Son.
Was that good parenting?
Its Probably Wasnt The Best Parenting, But Any Kid Would Agree To This That They Would Love If There Parents Were Anything Like That And Let The Punishment Go Like That, So If You Actually Want To Know If It Was Good Parenting, You Should Probably Ask A Parent Themselves.
Do you think he considers his wife his eqaul?
Well Obviously, Hes Married To Her, Wouldnt You Think He Thinks Of Her As His Equal. ? I Dont Really Understand This Question So Yeah !
@Talwinder I think the father was just defending Dan because the father acted like that in his past.I think that's why he was telling him to leave Dan alone.
Nobody can just stop cheating.It takes a very strong will and a large amount of virtue to resist these kinds of evil deeds.These are qualities that Dan seems to not have.
@El Presidente that's true that he probably won't cheat again but his father basically gave him the message the he COULD cheat again if he wanted to. It doesn't mean he will, but it means if he wants too, he could.
@ Sam its too different things to think of someone as your equal and to treat them as your equal his dad may think of her as an equal but from his actions hes certainly didn't treat her as an equal.
I think of Dan's father is he is a nice person and likes to here the whole story before he decides a punshiment. When Dan got caught cheating his mom right away grounded and will not let him play, but his father was like "their just kids". So Dans father is not that strict as his mother.
I think that is good parenting because when Dan was talking to his father, he didnt get that mad just disappointed at Dan because it was a mid term exam so its very important, its not just a quiz. His father gave his a lecture on cheating. But I think he should be a little more stricter.
His wife his not that equal as Dan's father because she's more stricter. Dans father supports Dan while his mother right away punishes him.
Dan's father seems like a good guy, but not just because he lessened the punishment for dan. He is a good parent because he took the perspective of his wife (No nintendo, no tv...) and Dan (everyone cheats). So when you put that together, you get a punishment, but a reduced version, and I thought that his judgement was correct, not because it got someone out of trouble, but that it was just. It is Good parenting because Dan's father takes perspective and reality and puts it together when he makes the statement, "Everybody cheats". What I expected to happen when he said that was that Dan's mother would have denied that and proclaimed that she hadn't cheated, because she sounds like that type of person. But that's what marriage does to you, it makes you agree to things that you would normally never agree to. That's probably the effect of love :/. Back to the topic, well, Dan's father made the right decision, but I wonder how he actually understood how dan felt, Normally a parent would explode, but Im guessing that his father had experienced a similar scenario, and his father might have overreacted, and he probably ended up hating his father, maybe he didn't want his son to feel the same way about him. I think that Dan's father takes advantage of the fact that they're married, and they love eachother very much, love is blinding, but a simple touch on the shoulder could make a huge difference, and maybe his dad had found that to be useful in getting things his way.
@Bailee I do not think so. I mean, as an example, in the morning at school, there are like 100 late kids. They're just told that they are late but no consequence is ever given. So it won't stop and all the late kids will continue to be late because there is no consequence for it. Same with Dan. If there is a small consequence from his parents about him cheating, he could do it again because it doesn't bother him.
Just because this one time Dans father doesnt agree with jis wife doesnt mean that he doesnt treat her as an equal. Everyone has there own opinions on different situations. So i think that Dans father does consider his wife as an equal.
@ Pamela so you think that cheating is ok for a child? If you were Dan's father would you let that go,or would you show him that it is not okay to cheat?
@Talwinder I agree it seem to me like dan's father is on Dan's side more then trying to side with both of them.He makes it look like hes siding with his wife but hes not hes more of listenign to her side then just using his own to help Dan out.
@Alyssa, the late kids could be late for many different reasons, Dan cheated one time, and he didnt get a huge punishment, that doesnt mean that he will actually do it agin, he knows that it is wrong.
@Pamela, i dont agree because cheating is a big deal next year Dan is goiing to high school what if he cheats there and the teachers find out he might get the job of his dreams or might get kicked out of school, get a bad reputation etc. so my main point is that his father needs to atke this topic more seriously he could have let Dan go with a warning and tell him what would happen the next time he did this and give him like a few chores or something.
@Bailee that's true that this is the only time we know of that he disagreed with his wife but just the way he did it and what he said suggests that he just doesn't treat her as an equal.
I did not say that cheating is OK for i child. I stated that Dan cares but not really and thats why he let the problem go. Cheating is not OK because when you do tests you do not know what to do and you get bad grades
@Alyssa i know Dan's dad really wasn't agreeing with Dan's mom but he was kinda showing her that by saying he wasn't proud and i think Dan's mother probably thought he's agreeing with her in a small way
@Pamela,i agree with you because cheating isn't good for anyone and if ppl cab spend time cheating and feeling guilty after, they can just study(and if they don't feel guilty then maybe they do it all the time)
Funny that I did not say it was a good thing that Dan cheated, if you @ me saying you disagree read it properly. I said that his father let it go because maybe it was his first time doing it and many kids cheat. So tell his father that you disagree with him :)
@Janat oh yeah he did agree with her by saying that he wasn't proud. But I don't get it. Why did he say he wasn't proud of him but basically let Dan off the hook for cheating?
I disagree because he did say it was a bad thing, but the way he handled it was different. He let him go because its not like he did something way worse, and plus it could of been his first time doing it. I am pretty sure he is not making it seem like he doesn't care if he does it again.
Yes this is true. Many people do not feel guilty, then they do get away with it. In College/University if you get caught cheating then you can get kicked out. I think that they should just let them cheat because if they continue to do it, they wont pass their class.
@Pamela I agree cheating is not ok besacuse if you cheat and dont get caught you think you did a job because you passed but what happends when you dont know what you are doing and you cant cheat you end up failing and having to learn it all over again when you should have learnded it in the first place.
@Alyssa.. true...i think that since Dan's mom is the strict parent so maybe Dan's dad doesn't want to put it hard on Dan so he's probably the more laid back one but it still isn't right and he is probably only saying that to reassure Dan's mom i think...
@Talwinder i agree if dans father treated his wife as his equal they would have come up with a punsihment that they both agreeded on instead of right away grounding dan or right away letting him off the hook that easy.
@Pamela i agree but if they continue and people don't stop them, then those ppl would continue in their whole life's and if they cheat and get everything right then they would judt think its ok and it not bad to cheat
@Janat i agree the mother reaction was a bit strong but you could see it coming and the dad reaction was a bit odd because normaly parents would talk it out before they punish someone for doing the wrong thing,but it looked like in the book that when dan walked into the room his mom lost it and started screamign at him while his father just sorta sit back.
@Steph true ..parents always talk out the punishment before they give them out but still say them like Dan's mom did in the car while she was taking Dan home.and mostly not most parents are as laid back about cheating as Dan's dad but any person would want a kid like that
@Amrit i agree and disagree its the way the parent handles the situation or the way they react to a problem.Was it dan mother who parent was not there or was there at the principla office? because if she was she was there and herd what the principal said about cheatign while the father only got the news from his wife.If she was there then she has more information on the situation then dans father.I agree because i think they should have talked it over before they decides on a punsihment.
@Janat yes alot of kids would want a parent like that but sometimes a parent who not strict or a parent who is to lay back could also not be to good.Adults always say you learn from your mistakes and that if you get punished you will never do it again but if the parent do not punish the child then it wont make a difference because they will keep doing it because there parents wont care And they wont get punished.
@ Steph yes Steph but Dan has one strict parent and one laid back one ..even if the laid back one can sometimes over the strict one but yes i agree if you have parents who are both laid back and always will be then i would actually feel bad for that kid because no matter what they do they wouldn't really get in trouble and even if they like it then they would probably would regret it when there older
@Prayas I disagree i think its not good parenting because like you said its not a quiz its a mid-term exam.Dont you think the punishment shoudl me someing bad because it a big exam and not only did dan cheat but he also got a failing grade because he cheated.
@Janat i agree they might regreat it when there older but i saw its good to have parents who are in the middle parent who are not lazey or parents who are not to strict.
Katie chickened out to use animal during the test so she did it in a way where she could not cheat.Katie questioned wether she should cheat or not but dan didnt and he just used animal with out thinking about it.Do you think he regreats cheating now then when he was writing the exam.
@Janat Well if he's getting a small punishment for cheating because of his Dad, he probably is thinking that his Dad is the best parent. And even if he knew it was bad, why would he say that to his Dad? To get more punishment?
@Stephanie, i think he kinda is but not too much because he didn't sound like it...remember he felt like chuckling when his father was and then his father gave him a look i think and only his mom gave him punishments...so he didn't as he regret it as much as Sara.what do you think Steph??
@Janat I agree wiht you i think he does not regreat it as much as sara because like you said he felt like chuckling which ment he was off the hook.I think katie whould have regreated it the most if she had cheated on the exam but she didnt so sara is.Sara still think katie snitched on them using animal.Do you think she snitched on then using animal?
I think that Dan's dad was a good parent because he came on strong and told Dan how he really feels and gave him a punishment (which is a normal parent thing)and at the same time told his mom she was being a little extra (which was true because it is just cheating, everybody cheats at some point in their lives). He is just a kid he needs to have fun in his childhood because when he is a responsible adult he is expected to do everything to take care of his family, I mean not able to do anything, that is a little harsh, he chould have done worst things.
@Alyssa,@Janet I disagree with you guys boys will be boys. Think if you were in that situation, would like to get off the hook like that or still get in trouble.
@Alyssa i agree he probably is thinking that his dad is the best well compared to his mom, who reacted really strongly.And i think he probably won't because he maybe would get one
@Janet I agree with you about you comment to steph he has to know what he is doing is bad because if he doesn't he will never stop doing it untill he learns, it will become normal to him because he can get away with it.
@Stephane,@Janet Dan will not regraeat it as much as Sarah because if you remember Sarah is the one that gave out the tests in the first place, she might get in more trouble.
@Stephanie i don't think Katie snitched because the hole time while they were doing the exam... Katie was confused , and was asking herself if she would cheat or not and she cheated and she said she had no friends and then why would she tell on the only one she had.What do you think..is it Katie or someone else
@Pamela I agree with ehat you said and that is true if you cheat in University you get kicked out, and if that happens to Dan he will learn his mistake.
@abdullahi I agree but on the last part of youe comment in not so sure so far all they did was get a day of supsention and had to write an essay that was due monday it didnt mention any of then gettign in more trouble the the others.
I think it was probably someone who overheard them talking about it and Katie was confused, and what if she did use it she would have got in trouble, that might have stoped her.
@Janat i dont think it was katie i think the teacher found out by himself because either rob sarah or dan test was in really bad shape so i think the teacher noticed it and noticed the others or he knew something was going on before the exam but i dont think so.
@ Stephane could have got in more trouble at home,and what if the principal at the school decides to give her a bigger punishment, after all she did hand them out didn't she? It is posible.
@ Abdullahi if i were in that situation, the my parents would probably be really angry with me and my dad would probably ask me why i cheated and then gvie a lecture lol but i wouldn't cheat in the first place
@ Stephane It could be posible teachers are very sneaky and what if someone in the class that is very close to the teacher found out? They cold have told.
P.S on my last comment to you I forgot to write Sarah before I wrote could.
@ Janet but what if you were under pressure and you had to pass the test and your parents were like Dan's parents. I agree with the lecture thing,my parents would do that to.
Yes that is true, his mother was being extra with his punishments. I think that his mother thought of cheating in a different way, and Dan's father thought of it as something light.
@Abdullahi well she did hand then out but she got then from someone else then she started to hand then out around.But it was your choice wether or not you wanted to cheat
Yes teacher are very snecky and i agree they coudl have simply been walking in the hallway and heard about the students cheating on there exam.Teachers have a way to find out things and they know stuff you didnt want them to know or you didnt know they knew.
@Pamela I think that could be posible because no two people are the same, we all have different opinoins about the same thing, even if the person is related to you.
@Stephane I agree with you about the teacher thing but if you saw your friends doing it,you might do it to because they are your friends and you trust them,if you didn't they wouldn't be your friends,it is the peer pressure thing MR.CHENEY was talking about at the start of the year.
@Stephane I agree that Dan's punishment should be more, as you and Prayas said it is not a quiz, it is a mid-term and he has a failing mark on the mid-term because he cheated. But as I said before he doesn't care, another thing I said before it could have been worst,what if it was the end-of-the-year-exam and if you fail you have to do the whole grade again plus you had to go to summer school and he was caught cheating, that would have been way worst.
@Stephane I agree and after that they think that they can get away with anything, when they find out the truth later on in life you wish you had found it out earlyer.
@Abdullahi yes if it was an end of the year exam and they were caught cheating it would be much worst and as you said it would end up in summer school and just like iv been saying whats the point of cheating if you know your going to get caught then your going to have to learn it all over again.
@Stephane that is a good idea and but some people think it is a good idea at the time and then they find out later that it isn't, just like the police prestation with the female police officer and the guy that lived in the Lawrence area.
@Abdullahi yes that true and sometimes they find out when its to late or they change there mind when its to late .Like in the book someone noticed that the answer was wrong and was like "the right answers b why did i put a" then the student was liek should i fake a sickness but it was too late and time was up.
@Stephanie i agree with you the students should have realized the answers were wrong but it was too late and they had to give their test in..so it would have been better if they haven't cheated and could have tried a little studying
Abdullahi i think i would have panic studied if i had a mid-term test and study all i can because there were re-do right unlike when you cheat and get caught you cant do that
it Kind of shows how 2 faced dan is. in school he plays all cool, like he was the best thing that ever happened. When he got in trouble, he acted like, big deal, who cares icheated what are you going to do?? Then leaving his father to think. My boy would never do such a thing, he doesnt do anything wrong. i will do this and that to get u out of trouble, which making him look good at home but bad at school
@ jan in the book they did mention that it was just the letters so they wouldn't have known since non of them studied. If it gave the answers too like question a says this and that they might notice something.
@Janat true and i agree its better to study then cheat because if you get caught then your going to have to learn it all over again when you should have learned it in the first place.
If you cheat it pointless because most of the time you get caught then you have to have to pay for it with failing grade,summer school etc.
@Stephanie yeah cheating doesn't make any sense. I mean, what if you spent a lot of time getting the answers to cheat? What was the point of that when you could've spent your time studying for the test which makes a lot more sense. Then you would know more and wouldn't get caught cheating.
@Abdullahi I think that someone who cheats will get caught eventually because someone would have to figure out that every test they do is either all correct or all wrong or something like that. But I think it is possible to break their routine of cheating because all they would have to do is study.
@abdullahi.... i would guess the answers and while i was doing the the test i would try to remember anything i would from watever question there was...but they did have a choce of cheating..they either took the anwerrs or didnt but they did and no one really thought of getting caught(and my name is spelled janat)
@sharpshooter yes they were letters and some of them just relized some are wrong after it was too late and the bell rang..so they should have atleast thought if they were wrong or something
@ abdullahi what I mean is that when they got the answers from someone it just gave the choices. The test was multiple choice, they just received what letters to check not like it is a copy of the test with the correct answers in it.
Whats kind of funny is how when Dan lost ruby or was it Katie ( the girl who he fought on the phone with) He said he better call Sarah "after all they're all in this together". But he gave her away at the snap of a finger before when he was in jeprody of getting in trouble. He seems like the type to expect all to go his way.
@ abdullahi they might have just written the answers an their arms or on their clothing. They could have had a piece of paper hidden in their sleeves they could pull out.
@ EL Presidente i agree i thin that was really cheap of him ...leaving one girl for another over test papars.and Dan lost Ruby and i thin she would be preety angry when she see's Sarah with Dan and then she'll tell her slef she doesn care even though it seems like she does.
@Abdullahi What i would say to someone who cheats alot would be something like what happends when you get caught there going to find out you have been cheating and your going to have to do all of your work over again.
If it did become a routine then to break it they would probally have to get caught or there would come a time when they cant cheat and they relize that its wrong or that it just not worth the trouble because if you think about it haviong to sheck whatever your cheating off into the class and having to watch your back so you dont get caught is more work the just studying and being prepared for the test.
I guess that is good parenting from my perspective, because to any kid they'll agree that is good parenting when they get in trouble.
ReplyDeleteIf you get in trouble with something as big as that you would want to get off easy; it's better then getting grounded . Though the dad might punish him a little later when he least expects it.
I think he does consider he wife equal just that he doesn't want his kid to take a big punishment as the one his mom was going to give him. It seems to me Dan is close to his dad why else would he not let his wife give his son a punishment like that?
No way that was terrible parenting but I wouldn't mind getting of with that kind of punishment for doing something as serious as cheating on a midterm though but it was still bad parenting.
ReplyDeleteI can infer that maybe Dan's dad was a slacker in his school years and now is using his good connections to get his son out of trouble who seems to be a slacker too. I can also infer that they are probably a family of wealth because of all the toys Dans got plus this also ties in with the inequality thing Dan's moms got a position of power within the school and now shes able to get him out of such a severe punishment, by listing all she does for the school with fundraising. I also feel Dan's dad doesn't consider his wife his equal because he can so much as put his hand up and veto her judgement at a snap of a finger too.

ReplyDeleteDan's father was nice but that was bad parenting because now dan might think that he can do anything as long as he has his dad to back him up so he might do somthing even worse next time i think he does consider his wife equal but mybe he was giving dan another chance so he doesn't do it agin.
ReplyDeleteI think that Dan's father is an incompetent,mediocre individual.Of course,you can't insult people like that.If he believes that cheating is acceptable,he must of had a history of being the class clown or delinquent of the the classroom.This might influence Dan into what he has become now.A mediocre,pathetic shrivel that will continue to cheat until he is stopped by a great loss or realization
ReplyDeleteI think Dan's father is not really that serious when it comes to parenting hee is bad at it,to me it seems he is rying to set a bad example for Dan instead of being a good responsible parent.
ReplyDeleteThat was not good parenting because why would someone want their child cheating,like that is wrong,Dan's father is not a good parent to me I think he is a bad father that doesnt care for his kid but can support him at times when something bad goes on.
I think he doesnt consider his wife equal because he is just going against her word not letting her raise her own son right and I really think if he keeps dong this to his family the the best thing to do is to just divorce the dude and leave with Dan.
I think Dan's father is a nice father because Dan was caught cheating and usually parents would get really upset but his father was like "No it's ok. Everyone cheats. It's not a problem"
ReplyDeleteI don't really think it was good parenting though because now Dan knows that if he cheats, it won't be that big of a deal so he could just continue cheating. And when his Mom was listing punishments, his Dad was like No give him a break. But if there are less to no consequences in a problem, then Dan will continue cheating because he doesn't get in a lot of trouble. So I don't think it was good parenting.
I'm not sure if he considers his wife his equal because whatever she said, he would but in and say "hey wait a minute. It's not that big of a deal." and "Boys will be boys" so I don't think that Dan's father thinks of his wife as his equal.
That parenting was... terrible.But how could you tell the father? He might deny it and then dismiss.Unless concrete evidence is given,Dan's father will continue to make himself think he is a good parent,by passing his values and morals.
ReplyDeleteBut that's the thing,are we able to question the morals and values of a family?
If we can tell someone that their views on cheating are incorrect,would they actually realize this and then try to change themselves?
By saying that the cheating is something that everyone does,then he is saying that cheating is okay.He accepts the fact that sometimes people need to bend the rules so they can be successful.It's unfair,but we all do it.
It's something we know the answer to,but we'll continue to do it.
@sharpshooter if they get off easy, then that would make them feel like they can do it again because it's not that bad of a punishment. But you don't want your kid to continually cheat, giving them a large punishment will let them know that they shouldn't cheat and they won't because they don't want to get in that trouble again.
ReplyDeleteI think Dans father is more of a laid back person, but can still be a serious person. He wouldnt be the one to choose sides, like in the book where he is making things better for Dan but still agreeing with his wife.
ReplyDeleteI think that his parenting was alright, because his father had been understanding with Dan, and didnt make Dan feel like his father never expected anything like this to happen. Its not like Dan would never make a mistake, his father understood that Dan had made a mistake, and Dan will now learn from it.
What I think of Dan's father is he is a nice person and like to here the whole story before he decides a punshiment.So when dan got caught cheating his dad herd what dan mother said but then said that"woh there just kids" to when his mother grounded him and took away his computer.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that was good parenting because dan cheated on a mid-term exam not just a quiz and not only did he cheat but he got a failing grade.If it was good parenting his parents would have gone into a lecture about how cheating is wrong instead his dad said how people cheat everyday and its ok.
No I dont think he considers his wife his equal because if he did he would have took her thought on the problem into consideration but he didnt instead he went with his own way and got dan in lesz trouble then he was suppost to get into.
I think Dan's father is nice but isnt a good parent because even though saying he isnt proud , hes really not showing that.This mothers reaction i think i was alittle too strong because she was trying to think of all the punsihments she could.When Dan's father did well nothing and he cheated on his mid-term....which isnt a little thing and by saying everyone cheats, its like he almost provoking him and sying its ok
ReplyDelete@Alyssa I doubt will cheat again though because theres more on the line than just a punishment from his parents if suspended he could have been booted off the football team and by the way Dan talks about the football team you could tell he really enjoys it and wouldn't want to be kicked off or risk his position on the team.
ReplyDeleteI really don't think he treats his wife equal.When he acted like everything was fine with cheating,and he distracted the mother so Dan could leave,you read about how he made a gesture.He treated his wife as an inequal by taking away her power (somehow) and letting Dan go.
ReplyDeleteBut the right answer is to have all three of them sit down together and have them all talk about the cheating situation.After that,they can come up with that cheating is wrong,and that they should come up with a way (maybe studying or tutoring) so Dan doesn't have to turn to cheating when he is lazy or can't understand.
I think that his father has done a lot of cheating in his life because he didnt pay much attention to the matter of his son was cheating and I think that he doesnt really care much about it becasue he said "everyone cheats..everyone." the way he said tells his son he can do it again and it wont matter much.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that his fathers parenting is so good because his use of language is telling his son that he can do it again and it wont matter, andsay if he does do it again and gets kicked out of school then what?
Sure he is doing part of his job by not taking the matter way too seriouly but he shouldnt have said "Everyone cheats ..... Everyone" because it it encourages his son that its not a big deal.
His father doesnt have too bad parenting either because he made Dan feel what hes done but then again didnt tell him what would ahppen if he does this again so still it was bad parenting.
I dont think his father considers his wife his equal because she gets to controlive and hes not so much. He probably thinks his wife jumps to too may conclusions too quickly while she probably thinks that he doesnt care.
I think Dan's father is the old fashion type of father, he would be on his son's side and as well as his mother's side. He was right, everyone cheats and make mistakes, but you shouldn't be hard on the kid for making just one mistake and getting caught for cheating.
ReplyDeleteI think he did do good parenting, he was showing Dan to never cheat again and everything will be fine.
I don't think Dan's father and his wife is equal because the mother was saying how he banned from such things and the father is saying how just leave him alone.
@ Gurinder that could be the case,and that is true he might be influencing Dan to cheat because he could of cheated in the past.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of Dan's father?
ReplyDeleteI think Dan's father is a good father even though he let the problem go. He cares about his son and he doesn't think he should be in trouble because he is just a kid and kids usually cheat on their test.
Was that good parenting?
I cant say that was good parenting but it was somewhat good because his wife wanted Dan to have all these punishments but he did not want that because all he did was cheat. So Dan's father does not think that he should be in all that trouble but he was a little disappointed. Many parents would yell at their child and give them a lot of punishments, but Dans father disagreed with that.
@Gurinder that's true the father is accepting the fact that people cheat to be successful but I don't think that's what you want to tell your kids. It's like telling them "Cheating is ok. If you do it, we don't really care because everyone does and you won't get punished for it." That's bad parenting.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa, just because not many consequences are given doesnt mean that Dan will continue to cheat, because what if there were more consequences Dan would be pretty upset and maybe cheat even mopre or do something worse.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of Dan's father?
ReplyDeleteI Think Dans Father, Is Cool, Because he Disipilined Dan Alittle, But Then Again, Its Only Cheating, So It Isnt A Big Deal, Boys Will Be Boys Is Right !So Really Dans Father Is A Good Father, Even though he Let The Problem Go, He Doesnt Think He Needs To Discipline His Son.
Was that good parenting?
Its Probably Wasnt The Best Parenting, But Any Kid Would Agree To This That They Would Love If There Parents Were Anything Like That And Let The Punishment Go Like That, So If You Actually Want To Know If It Was Good Parenting, You Should Probably Ask A Parent Themselves.
Do you think he considers his wife his eqaul?
Well Obviously, Hes Married To Her, Wouldnt You Think He Thinks Of Her As His Equal. ? I Dont Really Understand This Question So Yeah !
@Talwinder I think the father was just defending Dan because the father acted like that in his past.I think that's why he was telling him to leave Dan alone.
ReplyDeleteNobody can just stop cheating.It takes a very strong will and a large amount of virtue to resist these kinds of evil deeds.These are qualities that Dan seems to not have.
@El Presidente that's true that he probably won't cheat again but his father basically gave him the message the he COULD cheat again if he wanted to. It doesn't mean he will, but it means if he wants too, he could.
ReplyDelete@Van
ReplyDeletei agree hes not an good parent but he was still kinda agreeing with his wife, soo he was in the middle, like not taking sides
@ Sam its too different things to think of someone as your equal and to treat them as your equal his dad may think of her as an equal but from his actions hes certainly didn't treat her as an equal.
ReplyDeleteI think of Dan's father is he is a nice person and likes to here the whole story before he decides a punshiment. When Dan got caught cheating his mom right away grounded and will not let him play, but his father was like "their just kids". So Dans father is not that strict as his mother.
ReplyDeleteI think that is good parenting because when Dan was talking to his father, he didnt get that mad just disappointed at Dan because it was a mid term exam so its very important, its not just a quiz. His father gave his a lecture on cheating. But I think he should be a little more stricter.
His wife his not that equal as Dan's father because she's more stricter. Dans father supports Dan while his mother right away punishes him.
Dan's father seems like a good guy, but not just because he lessened the punishment for dan. He is a good parent because he took the perspective of his wife (No nintendo, no tv...) and Dan (everyone cheats). So when you put that together, you get a punishment, but a reduced version, and I thought that his judgement was correct, not because it got someone out of trouble, but that it was just.
ReplyDeleteIt is Good parenting because Dan's father takes perspective and reality and puts it together when he makes the statement, "Everybody cheats". What I expected to happen when he said that was that Dan's mother would have denied that and proclaimed that she hadn't cheated, because she sounds like that type of person. But that's what marriage does to you, it makes you agree to things that you would normally never agree to. That's probably the effect of love :/. Back to the topic, well, Dan's father made the right decision, but I wonder how he actually understood how dan felt, Normally a parent would explode, but Im guessing that his father had experienced a similar scenario, and his father might have overreacted, and he probably ended up hating his father, maybe he didn't want his son to feel the same way about him.
I think that Dan's father takes advantage of the fact that they're married, and they love eachother very much, love is blinding, but a simple touch on the shoulder could make a huge difference, and maybe his dad had found that to be useful in getting things his way.
@Bailee I do not think so. I mean, as an example, in the morning at school, there are like 100 late kids. They're just told that they are late but no consequence is ever given. So it won't stop and all the late kids will continue to be late because there is no consequence for it. Same with Dan. If there is a small consequence from his parents about him cheating, he could do it again because it doesn't bother him.
ReplyDeleteJust because this one time Dans father doesnt agree with jis wife doesnt mean that he doesnt treat her as an equal. Everyone has there own opinions on different situations. So i think that Dans father does consider his wife as an equal.
ReplyDelete@ Pamela so you think that cheating is ok for a child? If you were Dan's father would you let that go,or would you show him that it is not okay to cheat?
ReplyDelete@Janat when was he agreeing with his wife? He always seemed to disagree with what she said.
ReplyDelete@Talwinder I agree it seem to me like dan's father is on Dan's side more then trying to side with both of them.He makes it look like hes siding with his wife but hes not hes more of listenign to her side then just using his own to help Dan out.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa, the late kids could be late for many different reasons, Dan cheated one time, and he didnt get a huge punishment, that doesnt mean that he will actually do it agin, he knows that it is wrong.
ReplyDelete@ alyssa mybe he was just trying to give him a break so he won't do it agin
ReplyDelete@Pamela, i dont agree because cheating is a big deal next year Dan is goiing to high school what if he cheats there and the teachers find out he might get the job of his dreams or might get kicked out of school, get a bad reputation etc.
ReplyDeleteso my main point is that his father needs to atke this topic more seriously he could have let Dan go with a warning and tell him what would happen the next time he did this and give him like a few chores or something.
@Bailee that's true that this is the only time we know of that he disagreed with his wife but just the way he did it and what he said suggests that he just doesn't treat her as an equal.
ReplyDeleteI did not say that cheating is OK for i child. I stated that Dan cares but not really and thats why he let the problem go. Cheating is not OK because when you do tests you do not know what to do and you get bad grades
ReplyDelete@El Presidente !
ReplyDeleteYeahh , thats what i was thinking but the question confused me alittle.
@Alyssa
ReplyDeletei know Dan's dad really wasn't agreeing with Dan's mom but he was kinda showing her that by saying he wasn't proud and i think Dan's mother probably thought he's agreeing with her in a small way
@Pamela,i agree with you because cheating isn't good for anyone and if ppl cab spend time cheating and feeling guilty after, they can just study(and if they don't feel guilty then maybe they do it all the time)
@arvindersabharwal
ReplyDeleteFunny that I did not say it was a good thing that Dan cheated, if you @ me saying you disagree read it properly. I said that his father let it go because maybe it was his first time doing it and many kids cheat. So tell his father that you disagree with him :)
@Janat oh yeah he did agree with her by saying that he wasn't proud. But I don't get it. Why did he say he wasn't proud of him but basically let Dan off the hook for cheating?
ReplyDelete@ arvindersabharwal
ReplyDeleteI disagree because he did say it was a bad thing, but the way he handled it was different. He let him go because its not like he did something way worse, and plus it could of been his first time doing it. I am pretty sure he is not making it seem like he doesn't care if he does it again.
@JAN101
ReplyDeleteYes this is true. Many people do not feel guilty, then they do get away with it. In College/University if you get caught cheating then you can get kicked out. I think that they should just let them cheat because if they continue to do it, they wont pass their class.
@Pamela I agree cheating is not ok besacuse if you cheat and dont get caught you think you did a job because you passed but what happends when you dont know what you are doing and you cant cheat you end up failing and having to learn it all over again when you should have learnded it in the first place.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa..
ReplyDeletetrue...i think that since Dan's mom is the strict parent so maybe Dan's dad doesn't want to put it hard on Dan so he's probably the more laid back one but it still isn't right and he is probably only saying that to reassure Dan's mom i think...
@Talwinder i agree if dans father treated his wife as his equal they would have come up with a punsihment that they both agreeded on instead of right away grounding dan or right away letting him off the hook that easy.
ReplyDelete@Pamela
ReplyDeletei agree but if they continue and people don't stop them, then those ppl would continue in their whole life's and if they cheat and get everything right then they would judt think its ok and it not bad to cheat
@Janat i agree the mother reaction was a bit strong but you could see it coming and the dad reaction was a bit odd because normaly parents would talk it out before they punish someone for doing the wrong thing,but it looked like in the book that when dan walked into the room his mom lost it and started screamign at him while his father just sorta sit back.
ReplyDelete@Janat yeah that's possible. He also could be a laid back person. I still think it's bad parenting though.
ReplyDelete@Steph
ReplyDeletetrue ..parents always talk out the punishment before they give them out but still say them like Dan's mom did in the car while she was taking Dan home.and mostly not most parents are as laid back about cheating as Dan's dad but any person would want a kid like that
@Amrit i agree and disagree its the way the parent handles the situation or the way they react to a problem.Was it dan mother who parent was not there or was there at the principla office? because if she was she was there and herd what the principal said about cheatign while the father only got the news from his wife.If she was there then she has more information on the situation then dans father.I agree because i think they should have talked it over before they decides on a punsihment.
ReplyDelete@Janat yes alot of kids would want a parent like that but sometimes a parent who not strict or a parent who is to lay back could also not be to good.Adults always say you learn from your mistakes and that if you get punished you will never do it again but if the parent do not punish the child then it wont make a difference because they will keep doing it because there parents wont care And they wont get punished.
ReplyDelete@ Steph
ReplyDeleteyes Steph but Dan has one strict parent and one laid back one ..even if the laid back one can sometimes over the strict one but yes i agree if you have parents who are both laid back and always will be then i would actually feel bad for that kid because no matter what they do they wouldn't really get in trouble and even if they like it then they would probably would regret it when there older
@Prayas I disagree i think its not good parenting because like you said its not a quiz its a mid-term exam.Dont you think the punishment shoudl me someing bad because it a big exam and not only did dan cheat but he also got a failing grade because he cheated.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa i agree....Dan's father isn't a good parent but i think maybe Dan thinks he probably id because hes letting it go
ReplyDelete@Janat i agree they might regreat it when there older but i saw its good to have parents who are in the middle parent who are not lazey or parents who are not to strict.
ReplyDeleteKatie chickened out to use animal during the test so she did it in a way where she could not cheat.Katie questioned wether she should cheat or not but dan didnt and he just used animal with out thinking about it.Do you think he regreats cheating now then when he was writing the exam.
@Janat Well if he's getting a small punishment for cheating because of his Dad, he probably is thinking that his Dad is the best parent. And even if he knew it was bad, why would he say that to his Dad? To get more punishment?
ReplyDelete@Stephanie, i think he kinda is but not too much because he didn't sound like it...remember he felt like chuckling when his father was and then his father gave him a look i think and only his mom gave him punishments...so he didn't as he regret it as much as Sara.what do you think Steph??
ReplyDelete@Janat I agree wiht you i think he does not regreat it as much as sara because like you said he felt like chuckling which ment he was off the hook.I think katie whould have regreated it the most if she had cheated on the exam but she didnt so sara is.Sara still think katie snitched on them using animal.Do you think she snitched on then using animal?
ReplyDeleteI think that Dan's dad was a good parent because he came on strong and told Dan how he really feels and gave him a punishment (which is a normal parent thing)and at the same time told his mom she was being a little extra (which was true because it is just cheating, everybody cheats at some point in their lives). He is just a kid he needs to have fun in his childhood because when he is a responsible adult he is expected to do everything to take care of his family, I mean not able to do anything, that is a little harsh, he chould have done worst things.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa,@Janet I disagree with you guys boys will be boys. Think if you were in that situation, would like to get off the hook like that or still get in trouble.
@Alyssa I absoulutly agree with you 100% on your last comment.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa
ReplyDeletei agree he probably is thinking that his dad is the best well compared to his mom, who reacted really strongly.And i think he probably won't because he maybe would get one
@Janet I agree with you about you comment to steph he has to know what he is doing is bad because if he doesn't he will never stop doing it untill he learns, it will become normal to him because he can get away with it.
ReplyDelete@Stephane,@Janet Dan will not regraeat it as much as Sarah because if you remember Sarah is the one that gave out the tests in the first place, she might get in more trouble.
ReplyDelete@Stephanie
ReplyDeletei don't think Katie snitched because the hole time while they were doing the exam... Katie was confused , and was asking herself if she would cheat or not and she cheated and she said she had no friends and then why would she tell on the only one she had.What do you think..is it Katie or someone else
@Pamela I agree with ehat you said and that is true if you cheat in University you get kicked out, and if that happens to Dan he will learn his mistake.
ReplyDelete@abdullahi I agree but on the last part of youe comment in not so sure so far all they did was get a day of supsention and had to write an essay that was due monday it didnt mention any of then gettign in more trouble the the others.
ReplyDeleteI think it was probably someone who overheard them talking about it and Katie was confused, and what if she did use it she would have got in trouble, that might have stoped her.
ReplyDelete@Janat i dont think it was katie i think the teacher found out by himself because either rob sarah or dan test was in really bad shape so i think the teacher noticed it and noticed the others or he knew something was going on before the exam but i dont think so.
ReplyDelete@ Stephane could have got in more trouble at home,and what if the principal at the school decides to give her a bigger punishment, after all she did hand them out didn't she? It is posible.
ReplyDelete@ Abdullahi
ReplyDeleteif i were in that situation, the my parents would probably be really angry with me and my dad would probably ask me why i cheated and then gvie a lecture lol but i wouldn't cheat in the first place
@ Stephane It could be posible teachers are very sneaky and what if someone in the class that is very close to the teacher found out? They cold have told.
ReplyDeleteP.S on my last comment to you I forgot to write Sarah before I wrote could.
@ Janet but what if you were under pressure and you had to pass the test and your parents were like Dan's parents. I agree with the lecture thing,my parents would do that to.
ReplyDelete@ Abdullahi
ReplyDeleteYes that is true, his mother was being extra with his punishments. I think that his mother thought of cheating in a different way, and Dan's father thought of it as something light.
@Abdullahi well she did hand then out but she got then from someone else then she started to hand then out around.But it was your choice wether or not you wanted to cheat
ReplyDeleteYes teacher are very snecky and i agree they coudl have simply been walking in the hallway and heard about the students cheating on there exam.Teachers have a way to find out things and they know stuff you didnt want them to know or you didnt know they knew.
@Pamela I think that could be posible because no two people are the same, we all have different opinoins about the same thing, even if the person is related to you.
ReplyDelete@Stephane I agree with you about the teacher thing but if you saw your friends doing it,you might do it to because they are your friends and you trust them,if you didn't they wouldn't be your friends,it is the peer pressure thing MR.CHENEY was talking about at the start of the year.
ReplyDelete@Stephane I agree that Dan's punishment should be more, as you and Prayas said it is not a quiz, it is a mid-term and he has a failing mark on the mid-term because he cheated. But as I said before he doesn't care, another thing I said before it could have been worst,what if it was the end-of-the-year-exam and if you fail you have to do the whole grade again plus you had to go to summer school and he was caught cheating, that would have been way worst.
ReplyDelete@Stephane I agree and after that they think that they can get away with anything, when they find out the truth later on in life you wish you had found it out earlyer.
ReplyDelete@Abdullahi yes just like peer presure but in this case katie was not forced to use animal and at the last second she didnt use it.
ReplyDelete@Darthinder I agree with your statement and that could be true, he was a boy once he probably did something like that.
ReplyDelete@Abdullahi yes if it was an end of the year exam and they were caught cheating it would be much worst and as you said it would end up in summer school and just like iv been saying whats the point of cheating if you know your going to get caught then your going to have to learn it all over again.
ReplyDelete@Stephane that could be true but she could have thought of it as peer pressure, it is her opinoin.
ReplyDelete@Stephane that is a good idea and but some people think it is a good idea at the time and then they find out later that it isn't, just like the police prestation with the female police officer and the guy that lived in the Lawrence area.
ReplyDelete@abdullahi maybe thats why he didnt give dan shuch a hard time after he cheated on his mid- term exam.But im not sure...
ReplyDelete@Abdullahi yes that true and sometimes they find out when its to late or they change there mind when its to late .Like in the book someone noticed that the answer was wrong and was like "the right answers b why did i put a" then the student was liek should i fake a sickness but it was too late and time was up.
ReplyDelete@Stephanie i agree with you
ReplyDeletethe students should have realized the answers were wrong but it was too late and they had to give their test in..so it would have been better if they haven't cheated and could have tried a little studying
Abdullahi i think i would have panic studied if i had a mid-term test and study all i can because there were re-do right unlike when you cheat and get caught you cant do that
it Kind of shows how 2 faced dan is. in school he plays all cool, like he was the best thing that ever happened. When he got in trouble, he acted like, big deal, who cares icheated what are you going to do?? Then leaving his father to think. My boy would never do such a thing, he doesnt do anything wrong. i will do this and that to get u out of trouble, which making him look good at home but bad at school
ReplyDelete@Stephane that is true and I think the student you are talking about is Katie.
ReplyDelete@ Janet most people will act like that but what if you couldn't study and there were no re-dos what would you do then?
ReplyDelete@ jan in the book they did mention that it was just the letters so they wouldn't have known since non of them studied. If it gave the answers too like question a says this and that they might notice something.
ReplyDelete@Ben what do you mean by that? I know he acted like a two-face but what makes him look good at home but nad at school?
ReplyDelete@ beng the parents might notice something when he talks to the superintendent if Mr.chen was there too
ReplyDelete@Janat true and i agree its better to study then cheat because if you get caught then your going to have to learn it all over again when you should have learned it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteIf you cheat it pointless because most of the time you get caught then you have to have to pay for it with failing grade,summer school etc.
that will be even make him cheat even because the dad knows the superintendent and can get
ReplyDeletehim out of anything.
@ Stephane what would you say to someone who cheats alot and never gets chaught? It probably became a routine for them. How would break it?
ReplyDelete@Stephanie yeah cheating doesn't make any sense. I mean, what if you spent a lot of time getting the answers to cheat? What was the point of that when you could've spent your time studying for the test which makes a lot more sense. Then you would know more and wouldn't get caught cheating.
ReplyDelete@Sharpshooter1948 What are you talking about in your post to Janet? It kind of does not make sence? Can you explain the topic?
ReplyDelete@Abdullahi I think that someone who cheats will get caught eventually because someone would have to figure out that every test they do is either all correct or all wrong or something like that. But I think it is possible to break their routine of cheating because all they would have to do is study.
ReplyDelete@abdullahi....
ReplyDeletei would guess the answers and while i was doing the the test i would try to remember anything i would from watever question there was...but they did have a choce of cheating..they either took the anwerrs or didnt but they did and no one really thought of getting caught(and my name is spelled janat)
@sharpshooter
yes they were letters and some of them just relized some are wrong after it was too late and the bell rang..so they should have atleast thought if they were wrong or something
@ abdullahi what I mean is that when they got the answers from someone it just gave the choices. The test was multiple choice, they just received what letters to check not like it is a copy of the test with the correct answers in it.
ReplyDeleteWhats kind of funny is how when Dan lost ruby or was it Katie ( the girl who he fought on the phone with) He said he better call Sarah "after all they're all in this together". But he gave her away at the snap of a finger before when he was in jeprody of getting in trouble. He seems like the type to expect all to go his way.
ReplyDelete@ abdullahi they might have just written the answers an their arms or on their clothing. They could have had a piece of paper hidden in their sleeves they could pull out.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa I agree with you completely, that makes much more sence and it is the smart thing to do but people don't always do the smart thing.
ReplyDelete@ EL Presidente
ReplyDeletei agree i thin that was really cheap of him ...leaving one girl for another over test papars.and Dan lost Ruby and i thin she would be preety angry when she see's Sarah with Dan and then she'll tell her slef she doesn care even though it seems like she does.
@Abdullahi What i would say to someone who cheats alot would be something like what happends when you get caught there going to find out you have been cheating and your going to have to do all of your work over again.
ReplyDeleteIf it did become a routine then to break it they would probally have to get caught or there would come a time when they cant cheat and they relize that its wrong or that it just not worth the trouble because if you think about it haviong to sheck whatever your cheating off into the class and having to watch your back so you dont get caught is more work the just studying and being prepared for the test.
