Part 6 Further Reading

When you think of cheating during exams, there is only one image that comes to mind—all those relatives scaling the wall of a school in Bihar trying to help out the kids with answers and “chits.”

Notes

________________________

That fiasco, of course, is legendary, but it won't be wrong to say that there are scores of kids who manage to take a peek into their neighbor's answer paper, or even smuggle in a couple of chits rolled up in their sleeves to help them out.

That's nightmare material for most examiners, who painstakingly walk around the room keeping a sharp eye on everyone. The anti-cheating method adopted by this school in China is parts ridiculous and hilarious, but 100 percent unique and extremely effective.

According to local Chinese media, it seems a school in Anhui Province of the country cut out skull-sized holes in newspaper sheets and had the students wear them over their heads from looking into each other's answer sheets.

Photographs of the students in their headgear seriously sitting in class and writing their exam have gone viral on social media platforms, and the response has been mixed.

While some have said it's a clever idea, others have slammed the school saying it is insulting to the students.

Well, notwithstanding the seriousness of the issue, there is no doubt that the picture of these students wearing newspaper hats as an anti-cheating device will definitely make you chuckle! Imagine doing that in India!
