Cheating in the Leaving Cert

Nailz · 15-06-2010 4:22pm

Ladies and Gentlemen, if the lad gets investigated and is found guilty of cheating then he gets what he brought upon himself, but if he did nothing he has nothing to worry about; Stop getting in needless digs at him, he's only human, let whatever's going to happen happen and leave the belittling comments to yourself.

Probably the tabloids. The likes of the Daily Mirror.

If he didn't do anything, then why is he trying to convince us he didn't do anything? If he didn't cheat he has nothing to worry about so why would he go to all this trouble to try and convince us?

Come on people. Have faith in me. I was joking with you. You people are very naiive to think I would go bragging about cheating when it is one of the top things on the news.

cheaters have been bragging on facebook though.. but im not accusing. it will be up to the sec to decide what exams are held back so i would really like it if yous didnt use this thread to accuse each other but rather to give your opinion on the situation or experiences in relation to this topic. we do nt know if mick daly is truely messing or not so stop trying to scare him please. if he cheated then he will be dealt with eventually but otherwise, stop with the bitching!

I think your being a bit short sighted there tbh. The majority of people using the toilets are using them genuinely. its impossible to concentrate on a exam if you really need to go

Okay. It's just been noted over quite a few posts that a lot of cheaters use the bathroom to cheat. That doesn't mean everyone who uses it does, by no means would I believe that.
But I do think that bathroom breaks are abused. People are constantly moving around and not only is it distracting, but it's an accepted fact that it does appear to be a common means to cheating. Therefore they should be relatively restricted/discouraged in my opinion.

But I'm not going to argue this one out, it's just a matter of opinion.

Oh. In that case I'm telling the truth. Oh. Eh. I'm not sure what I'm saying. Ah sure whatever you're having yourself.

niamhygiggles · 15-06-2010 4:29pm

I don't agree with doing away with bathroom breaks! It's a basic human right to use the bathroom! Making someone hold it in is a form of torture!

However, allowing one bathroom break should be plenty, unless you have some medical need to use it more. I have NEVER had to use the bathroom more than once during an exam. And I have a small bladder LOL!

baaaa · 15-06-2010 4:29pm

Nobody is getting investigated,"we will investigate the matter" is a standard response when a journo rings up and asks "can you comment on the boards thread?".
If people are bringing notes to the toilets then they deserve to be busted.It's 2010 and you're using paper to cheat.

Grand, then leave it for him to clear up, the "I'm right your wrong attitude" on here is bollocks. It's his problem now.

Also... i105-107 sucks! :P

If the cheat was by concealing notes under his clothing, regardless of whether he actually cheated or not, there's no way they can prove it did or did not happen. The blatant claiming to have done it followed by pathetic attempts to cover it up, that might have some repercussions though...

I think some justice has come from this thread... the cheaters won't be cheating for the rest of the leaving cert anyway

youd be surprised. most of the cheaters are probably not aware of the uproar over me starting this thread. hell i didnt know until i logged on! and as i said, cheating was widespread as usual today.

Michael 09 · 15-06-2010 4:38pm

I think today a lot of people are aware of it though...

Did you think you'd get this reaction?

I've noticed that since the story broke, people going to the bathroom half an hour after the exam began have stopped....it's definitely freaked people....I don't know anyone who is cheating, but I suppose anyone who goes to the bathroom during exams falls under suspicion now.

One girl I noticed was going every other day during every other exam without fail-no movement whatsoever today! Whatever happens to the people who have actually been cheating aside, the story itself has definitely made people reconsider the risks of being caught...

It was just my luck that today was the only day I needed to go to the toilet during the exam... I was dying to go for like an hour but because of this scandal I really didn't want to leave

I ending up writing so fast trying to finish (so that I could leave) I don't think the corrector will be able to read my writing!

In all fairness, if that's the case you could get an exemption-there shouldn't be any difficulty in managing a medical concern if you have one. The fact remains that most people can avoid having to go during an exam.

Some people genuinely need the toilets because of the effect nerves have on them.

Cheating is pathetic. I was playing a bit of a joke and it went too far. That was patheric. Everyone seemed to believe it. Thats was also pathetic.

It is clear to see from this thread that people want to see people slung up over this whole thing. "I'm contacting boards.ie and the SEC" etc. Why do people feel the need to get so involved. "Oh you're f""ked now buddy" etc.

Listen if you need to use the toilet, use it. Go, leave the exam hall. If you are not cheating you have nothing to worry about. You may aswell be comfortable doing the exam.

You see now what cheating has done? Well, the awareness of it? People are afraid to use the toilet now, in case they are accused of cheating.

Just don't fecking cheat in the exam, be bigger then that, get an honest result...

You lot never learn... Grow up and quit it with the childish digs, you're bringing yourself down to his level. Don't use him as a target, you never know what is going on with him, the subject is widely ranged, not to some eejit who thought he'd have a laugh (or not).
