Hi so Friday, my friend wasn't quite understanding the assignment and nobody was allowed to talk in the classroom. So, she just asked to see my notebook to look if she was doing it right. The teacher walks over, automatically assumes she was copying/cheating off my answers, and after class, doesn't let our assignment be graded, gives us an alternate assignment that won't get full points, and gives both of us a detention. Now, keep in mind that he never gave us a chance to explain ourselves. She wasn't even writing anything down!! And talking with my parents, they brought up a point where why would my friend (who's really smart and probably really close to a 4.0) and me (a 4.0) need to be "cheating" of each other? Is it considered cheating? Should I talk to my principal?
Please teachers only. It would greatly be appreciated.

Yes, I think this is cheating. You knew you couldn't talk, so sharing your notebook was obviously against the rules. If your classmate wasn't sure about the assignment, I'm sure the teacher would have clarified it for her.
I agree with Ms. Sue. That's a form of cheating. Take your lumps, and never do this again.
Yes you’re not supposed to talk BUT you’re NOT cheating so yeah
I personally don't think it was cheating becuz your friend wasn't writing anything down she was just looking over some stuff in your notebook and you guys weren't talking, so i don't think you were cheating
"Teachers only." Dumb. The teacher is the one that created the problem, how are more teachers gonna fix it?
I disagree with Mrs.Sue, because I don't think it is cheating!
Ok so, this website is getting abused by immature children on the internet. I am 13 and say that children should do their studies and pay attention, and then they won't have to cheat or post answers. I understand answering one question but kids do wayy too much and post the whole test. And to make it worse other kids give the answers! I am with an online public school and it is sad to see how our society is today. You will grow up to be nothing if you think everything is going to be handed to you. They won't hand you your job you have to WORK for it. Hard workers live a good life. All the kids cheating are irrelevant and immature. You are better then this! Anyone that dislikes this is because they know I'm right. Hate all you want. It's the truth. And if I'm being too mean I apoligize. However I wouldn't have anything to say if it wasn't true!!! SMH at all these kids these days. Thank you to the children that do right in this world! Have a nice day.
And no that wasn't cheating. If your teacher said open book then you're fine.
alright listen, it was not a test, they just were going to study for the test it makes no sense to help their friend get the answers. This is MY opinion though, And i say it is not cheating
