How Whacky is This: Anti Cheating Exam Hats?

[mawnansmiff]

Certainly a novel way to prevent cheating. When I was at school we were trusted not to spy on our neighbour's papers though they did space out the desks & chairs by about 5 or 6 feet all round .

The last image is the best....I'll bet that guy grows up to have tunnel vision!

Philippines: Student 'anti-cheating' exam hats go viral

College students were asked to create headwear to help resist the urge to peek at others' papers.

This gets my vote for the most effective, and the ugliest.

Goofy faculty think these things work but kids will find a way to cheat anyway.

What a waste of a good pipe rack.

When I was a pupil every teacher had an anti-cheating device leaning in the corner behind the desk and some of them were more like cricket bats than “paddles”.

They worked.

As additional motivation they also had this called “failing grade” they applied with great effect.

Plus we never had to face the degradation of looking like a third grade production of the lowest budget Dr Who episode ever filmed.

As a species I don’t think we have much time left on the clock. Thankfully.

I feel like something is missing in this story. Seems more like an attempt at silliness then a serious measure. Or at least students being students and following a measure in the most silly and creative way possible. Or in other words something might have gotten lost in translation.
Nope it said all that in the article. Pretty cool then. If you can't make stressful life situations fun, what's the point of having any stress in the first place?

Way our school system is going, we won't have to worry about cheating. The students will be too stupid to cheat in few years. They are introducing all sorts of bullshit and lowering the standard to where dolphins will laugh at. Thank god my kids are out of K - 12 and in college. Not that colleges are any better now days.

Their tutor told the BBC she had been looking for a "fun way" to ensure "integrity and honesty" in her classes.

If they have to go to those extremes to ensure integrity and honesty, they've got a bigger problem than test cheaters.

My high school biology teacher had a Great Horned Owl beautifully mounted in the front of the classroom. no matter where you sat you'd swear the owl was looking directly at you. Rumors of video cameras hooked up to the eyes were rampant. I was his aide as a senior and know it was just an owl but I still told his freshman class I was in the back changing the tapes.

Do you mean that the infrastructure which ALLOWS people to make a living talking about their parakeet, lipstick application techniques, and adventure walks around their back yard requires power generating stations, electrical distribution grids, sewer and water systems, aircraft, airports, highways, bridges, roads, agriculture, and so on to make it work?

And maintaining and expanding that infrastructure requires people to know STEM subjects because physics doesn't give a shit about safe spaces, triggering, micro-aggressions, cultural appropriation, and trans-sexual dance therapy interpretation studies?

How. Dare. You. Sir.

The planet's modern infrastucture can---and will---look after itself just fine.

In the meantime, Mr. Bullet08, you need to stop spreading implicit mis-information and creating a fearful online environment or you WILL be dealt with in the only way your kind seems to understand.

Someone could paste a cheat sheet inside their motorcycle helmet or other odd headgear. As it is, it is a performance art project more than an exam security measure, but it makes students aware of the importance of not cheating, except for the students who always cheat. As performance art, it is a winner. It looks like a Star Trek meet-up.

I think the Philippines has a brain-drain problem. Many smart kids can't afford college, and the ones who can, want to leave to go where they can get remunerated for their degrees.

From that part of the world, I see that Vietnam is about to start exporting automobiles to the U.S., the first brand an EV called a Vinfast. Having a war with the U.S. seems guaranteed to start an automobile industry, win or lose, as we see with the Germans, the Japanese, the Koreans, and now the Vietnamese. Prepare for cars from Afghanistan and Iraq down the road. Just kidding? The Taliban Sport Coupe.

Only problem is, unlike German and Japan, N. Vietnam didn't work with us after we bomb and Agent Orange all over their jungle. And unlike S. Korea, we didn't fight for them. Afghanistan and Iraq.. I don't know. We've bomb them enough, and had "allies". But Taliban Sport Coupe isn't catchy enough.

You know? It's not funny how some of them are going after those with different ideas than theirs. Sooner or later, will have to pay more attention to Big Brother. Or as they say "your ass's grass".

This schmuck was no Einstein.

I don't like cheats. I know, it's a personal failing, I should be more sympathetic.

One of my fondest memories was reviewing portfolios for a production hiring situation and being handed a portfolio that had my work in it. Needless to say, it made a nice pile of confetti when I got through with it.

One of my less fond memories was getting bounced for a job because my portfolio, which contained my work, got flagged because someone else on staff had used my work to get hired there. They thought I was the cheat. So I sent them the early stages and work ups, which had never been duplicated, and suggested that they ask that person to produce the same stuff. Never heard from them, the SOBs.

You should give a pair of those to jim, though it wouldn't stop him.

Must be fun to be a teacher in that school, I'd rather teach the kids about the value of good and honest work, how it makes you feel proud and decent and how you will grow from that.
Instead they have the kids dress up like total dorks, making a joke out of them. It would only break my concentration if I had to look like this.

That coupe will just explode on the US market.

Did you guys read the article? It is humorous that some of you are taking this post as if it is a real "thing." But, one class in one school in the Philippines had a lesson where they had fun finding a creative solution to a problems that was imagined. This was all in fun.
Most standardized tests in the US are done on computers locked to one screen, so that students can't look up answers while taking the tests.
When I was a kid, we made small cheat sheets with microscopic writing that would be impossible for us to read. Then during the test we realized that we remembered the answers that we wrote down, so we didn't need to actually cheat.
