Another obvious solution - give every class A DIFFERENT test. So simple.

Quite frankly this is ridiculous. In all honesty these kids are just doing what kids have been doingRead More FOREVER. Like you never EVER asked the kid who had social studies first period what the test was like so you had an edge when you took it in 4th period. The difference is they have the internet and cell phones and whatever else available to them that we didn't. It's a simple solution really - these kids shouldn't be allowed to have phones in class. Keep them in your locker. They don't even need their friends to tell them anything, they can just google their answers from their phones right from the classroom should they want to . I don't think these kids were doing anything wrong. It is so ridiculous. Must have been a very slow news day for them to even give this story the time of day. When you are talking about the labs that were sent home - well do you really expect kids to not collaborate on an assignment THAT WAS SENT HOME? How ridiculous. You can't send something home with students and tell them don't talk to anyone about it and do it by yourself. I mean, that is just ridiculous.

You seriously think the BOE contacted the media you moron?

Yes, I was also really disappointed to see the damage to the sign on Lion's Path. Some people haveRead More no respect.

Is it me? Or does anyone else think that all parties involved should be fired for betraying theRead More trust and adding to the tarnished reputation the West Islip School system and its students by reporting the recent cheating scandal to the media. I mean really, did anyone from the district or school system need to contribute to the story in the media, how about no comment the matter is under review. Why does the BOE allow an overpaid moron like Richard Simon with no public information experience to speak to the media let alone anyone? This matter should have been handled by the School Districts attorney. Good job to the Morons of the BOE and Superintendents office keep letting us tax payers down.

You can thank all these POS politicians for the new gun legislation designed to make law abidingRead More citizens give up their second amendment rights out of sheer frustration and incontinence of owning a gun legally for increases in savage on citizen violence. This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
