What happened to you when you got caught cheating?

Ok, well one time in the sixth grade, my teacher was a complete battleaxe. She was honestly the meanest teach I've ever had in my entire life. She was so bad, some of us put elax in her coffee, but this one kid, ratted it out, and we all suffered. Even though, for the record, I was not in this ploy. Anyway, when it came time to grade our math homework, she was lazy so she let the person behind you grade your homework. I have never been good with math and neither was the boy who sat behind me so we worked out this thing were we would grade each other higher than what we actually made. It worked, for weeks, until we got caught and I have a very strong feeling we weren't the only kids in class doing that. This teacher decided the best way to teach us a lesson was to embarrass us in front of the entire class, by verbally degrading us and threatening to tell our parents, the principal, getting un expelled etc. etc. Well I managed to hold it together, unlike my poor accompliance he was crying by that point. I think I repressed the memories after that but I know it dealt with me going to the principal's office and giving "my side of the story" I learned my lesson after that.

I never actually cheated, but I got accused of cheating when I was eight, and my teacher yelled at me for ages. And I mean really yelled. Another girl had been looking over my shoulder while I was writing my answers, and then she blamed me for it, so I wasn't too impressed, and I hated that girl and the teacher ever since that day!

whooh.. cheating is one of the most sarcastic thing i did in my student life yet a very more challenging deeds.. i remembered it i was a first high school transferee in a school and it was never my intention to cheat with my classmate but since I do not really know what is the answer of the test since I do not study at that time. So i decided to cheat with my seat mate since she is smart in our class.. but after the our teacher checked the test she notice that we have the same correct answers and wrong answers and before i forget to mention she also the one who wrote the answers to my paper.. so to cut the story short.. our teacher called us to the faculty and confront with what we did..

i haven't been caught cheating on assignment or exams.. my classmates often looks at my papers one time, my classmate borrowed my assignment to check if she did the right thing.. but what i did'nt know is some of my classmates photocopied my assignment.. and when we all passed the assignments, my teacher noticed that they copied my assigment, almost all of it. she got mad, and told me me be careful. she did'nt give them points.. i also got a deduction.. not fair.. but i learn a lesson, not to show my assignment anymore.. i can just explain to them what they do not know, but i will not let them borrow it again..
