How's it going, everyone? Welcome back to a brand new
story today. We got a pretty crazy story of
something that happened on Zoom class, way, back in the day,
during the whole 2020, quarantine thing.
Yeah, this girl basically got caught during Zoom class.
It was pretty crazy and I think you will enjoy it.
So, sit back, relax, subscribe to the channel.
If you're new, leave a like on the video to claim your free,
nothing with that. All being said, let's jump right
into it. So we're going to call this
subscriber who submitted this story, Alex.
So anyways this all happened as I I said back during the whole
2020 Zoom thing. So, I mean, I'm sure you guys
all have the same thing. You had Zoom class online during
2020 during that whole thing. That happened.
It's honestly so crazy to think back and be like, yeah, we are
in quarantine for months. Like that just doesn't feel
real, bro. Like I don't know how else to
describe it but anyways. Right.
Sure enough this was a couple months into Zoom class.
So this was this was like during like October or November of
their or Alex's sophomore year in high school and so during his
sophomore In high school, you know, he was taking a difficult
math class, so this was algebra 2.
Honors Algebra 2 is in general kind of difficult class.
I remember it being kind of hard for me.
I'm currently a math major now, and I got trashed in high school
math. So if you guys are like not
liking High School Math, that doesn't necessarily mean, you
should stray away from anything that is math-related, just a
little piece of, like, I don't know, hope, if you still like it
and are just bad at math, right? Because you're not it Just
anyways. So he was taking algebra two
honorees and it was a pretty serious class a task.
Cool. It was, he was kind of doing it
because he wanted to do a lot of like, Advanced physics stuff and
a lot of kind of classes like, that than needed the, the
difficult math class as well. Look pretty good on his resume
for when he was applying to college.
So this is a pretty serious class and was a pretty difficult
one. This was kind of the school's
Crown Jewel of a class at that makes sense.
So during the whole corn, teething it became very
difficult to test without you know obviously kids cheating,
because here's the thing. Jing'an Zoom class in theory is
way too easy. Look I'm not, I'm not saying
anything. I'm just saying that I witnessed
it just is way too easy to do that stuff because if you think
about it the only type of stuff that you can really test when
you have zoom and although, you know, the internet to your
disposal, is basically just your own creative work and even then,
Chad gvt. Now, it's very questionable, how
exams will work in the future but especially the math class.
It's just kind of hard because there's normally just one Answer
to math, sure. You got to give your like
thought process but there's a lot of places like on stack.
I don't think on stack Overflow is math but there's like a math
version for stack Overflow, there's check there's all these
websites right? There's all these places where
you can get answers and now it has answers but like a full
explanation. So for that reason while there
were exams, the did happen or tests in the class, the teacher
basically requested that everyone keeps their camera on
and their microphone on. So I mean The teacher, let them
turn off their camera. It would be way too easy to whip
out like Photo math or something and just like take snaps of
every single thing you need to do so yeah.
Sure enough. There was a their first kind of
really big test in algebra to the class.
They were all sitting in Zoom class and there's this girl who
were going to introduce. We're just going to call her
Kate for the duration of this video, right?
So Kate was in this class and it was very clear at least to Alex
when he looked over every once in a while, the case was never
paying attention in the class so they They were required to keep
their cameras on, but they commute at least, not during the
test during the test. They had to keep their mics on
as well but they commute during the test during the normal class
period. However, they were required to
keep their cameras on so that they couldn't literally just
leave the class. However, the way that this class
was taught or the difficulty of this class, you just kind of
made sense to pay attention anyway.
So they were having a pretty major test coming up and sure
enough. Everyone was kind of getting the
Jitters for it, it was pretty difficult and the teacher was
saying, Forehand that, you know, you had to have your camera on.
You had to have your microphone on and basically that the
teacher will be, like, paying very close attention not to,
like, spook the kids. But basically, just to say,
look, you can try and cheat, but I'm paying very close attention
and you'll get in big trouble, like it's a simply not worth it
and also I some high schools kind of our kind of lenient
about kids cheating or whatever. It's like you get caught
cheating. The teacher will be like, yo
relax but not at Alex's. High School Alex's High School.
Took it super, super seriously and you would you would be
suspended. You wouldn't be expelled and
your first one but you'd legitimately be suspended for
like a week. You would like be forced to fail
the class. The stakes were cheating were
extremely high. It is high school.
I think it kind of depends per eyes school but especially
Alex's High School extremely high.
So, with that being said, right, the teachers basically saying,
look, just study and also like at the end of the day, if you
can't, you could in theory, be looking up how to do these
questions on the exam. You Have a really limited time
frame to do the exam, so it's not even it doesn't, make that
much sense. Anyways, let's skip ahead to the
day of the exam because that's where things get kind of
interesting. So anyways, everyone's kind of
been preparing for this. Alex is talking to a few other
people who was friends with in the class, basically being like,
yo, like what are you doing, like what you're doing to
prepare a, how do you feel about it?
The general consensus around was that everyone was kind of
sketched out because it was going to be a very difficult
exam. One thing is this kind of true
about math classes is that teachers kind of have a choice
of how difficult they want to make.
It sure there are some classes that are just always going to be
difficult no matter what. But there are like, I feel like
with math classes, like let's take algebra to, you could
factor a very, you could be given a quadratic to factor.
I think that's still Algebra 2. That's like pretty simple, or
you could be given the grossest, most insane polynomial, right?
It's really like, up to the teacher discretion, how annoying
they want to make it. And this teacher this disk,
because his class was regarded, as slyke supposed to be like
Really difficult one and it's, I don't know, I guess,
quote-unquote, the Crown Jewel, the class the teacher was going
to make it very difficult. So anyways, they all log in,
they all log in, like five minutes earlier or something
because you know, they normally don't but since it's an exam
day, they definitely do want to be late and so the teachers
like, all right, so you know, there's going to be questions
on, you know, canvas this time this exact sorry it's not the
the exam will be submitted on campus but you're supposed to do
it on paper. Basically the idea Idea is like
they take photos of your exam and like submit them.
He said for that reason I will be giving a little bit of a
grace period there like a little bit of a grace period when you
know the class is over for you to submit but also make sure
that you have your camera not just pointing on you but like if
possible pointing on your work as well.
The idea here is like you could do a canvass test where it's
just I don't know just showing like your answers but the
teacher wanted to see the process to which Got your answer
which is also just kind of a makes cheating a lot more
difficult because you could just plug in everything into a
calculator and get the right answer and if you aren't forced
or not even encouraged to show your work, there's really no way
to prove either way. Yeah.
So anyways right sure enough the subscribers like okay you know
kind of getting locked in kind of getting ready and eventually
you know it's about that time Kate the girl shows up like 30
seconds before the test starts which everyone else was there
like minutes before but that's not Super important detail.
Anyways so they start the exam, you know, Alex goes on canvas
pulls it up or whatever and there's probably a lot of
details that Alex and even notice because he's so focused
on the exam. But this is where things start
to go downhill and start to go downhill pretty quickly.
So anyways, right, he's this, you know, he's plugging away
doing is like math, whatever he's doing the problems and so
everyone is told that they can't have their mic has to be on in
their camera has to be on. So I think for some reason Kate
must have just completely forgotten about.
The whole your mic is on there for any audio.
That is playing, will be played to everyone.
That kind of little fact that is going to be pretty important.
I think Kate, just completely forgot about that.
I think she does completely spaced on the fact because or
she just, I don't know if she's I really honestly don't know,
because Alex is sitting there and that's when he hears a
YouTube video playing and not like, you know, some like random
entertainment YouTube video Vo, but one of those like, hey guys,
welcome back to math tutorials. Today, we're going to be
learning how to factor a quadratic that was what he
heard. So, two things here.
First of all, you're entering an Algebra 2 exam on complex
factoring, like, these are factoring difficult problems.
You're looking up a YouTube video of how to factor a basic
quadratic you're screwed. You're so screwed.
I don't care if you were allowed to cheat, you still wouldn't
pass? And look, I'm not trying to rag
on like During an algebra test of that stuff's hard.
I'm not gonna lie. But if you're going into an exam
looking at an exam on the hardest versions of something
and you're looking up during the exam, a tutorial of how to do
the most basic version and it's timed and you are not given a
lot of time, you're probably not doing well.
Second of all this is very clearly not allowed.
You're not allowed to have. It was stated, you're not
allowed to have any assistance of any kind.
I really don't know why. Kate decided that this was the
best idea. She was probably better off just
like finding some like calculator or something and
online calculator and just like trying to do it.
There would have been a little bit obvious that she was like
typing on her computer looking at something typing on her
computer. And not actually, like, writing
stuff down not doing actual math.
I think that'd be pretty obvious for the teacher to see, but at
least then you're not holding yourself and also not even
cheating correctly, which I don't know what.
I don't know. What I'm more mad about the fact
that she was caught cheating and says his stupid way.
That she was cheating like an idiot which I mean don't do
either guys but all I'm all I'm saying.
So this point like Alex and everyone else in the class kind
of look up. You can tell that everyone looks
up because everyone has been looking down at their paper
doing you know, the difficult math problems.
And that's where they hear the YouTube video and everyone looks
up and they're looking at Cape, right?
And Kate must have just not put two and two together that her
microphone is on. She's playing loud audio on her
like laptop. Therefore Everyone's going to
hear the loud audio and she must have been paying attention to
the YouTube video and had like tabbed out the zoom class and to
another window or something because she doesn't even notice
that everyone like looks like like was looking down their
paper and then immediately looks up.
So a little bit like I don't know like ten seconds later the
teacher is like the teachers in a weird position like a weird
situation because they don't want to like distract from, you
know, what's going on. So what Alex thinks the teacher
It was like privately, send Kate a message and then like an
invite to a one-on-one Zoom. Breakout room, remember those
breakout rooms, dude. I swear those would be the most
awkward things ever. I'd be like, putting a
quote-unquote group assignment and put into a breakout room
with like people, my class. Everyone would turn off the
cameras, everyone would turn out their mics and I just feel like
Dad, like, I don't want to be here either, but the teacher is
going to hop in here. You're all going to be dead,
quiet. And then, I'm going to get
blamed, like we all know how this goes anyways, though.
So Yeah, sure enough. I think the teacher tried to
like privately, get Kate to be like, hey, let's talk privately
because you're screwed bud, but the thing was, as I said, Kate
must have been tabbed out of the zoom class so she didn't even
realize. So she's still looking at this
and you can watch her. Look at, like, the tutorial of
how to factor. Like, I don't know.
X squared minus 3 plus 4. That actually might be really
hard to factor. I can't do one of my head, but
like, a very simple, Neil and their tests on really hard Polly
note like crazy degree stuff. So yeah.
It's like she was you could watch her as she was like
watching the YouTube video and like writing stuff, down
frantically very clearly, not going to pass this exam.
Even if he was allowed to continue doing this and I bet
the teacher part of him was like, do I really need to
enforce this? Like, do I really need to?
Yeah. But, anyways, it was pretty
clear that Kate was not taking the hints or not.
Taking the hint, suppose just not on Zoom enough.
To see the notifications that she's got to get into a breakout
room. The teachers like, yo, it's
eventually the teacher because it's not, not only is she like,
very blatantly cheating, and zoom class.
She's also distracting everyone else because of how loud her
cheating is because of how non discrete her cheating is
therefore, you know, eventually the teachers like, hey, like
Kate like, can you like check your messages and you like Alex,
just saw like Kate's face, like she like lit up.
Of like oh no. So you immediately hear the
video pause you immediately. See afterwards K, go down to
start like scribbling something and it's like, what?
Like the worst, like I try to get out of it as situate, like
the worst kind of trying to get out of that as possible.
You're caught, you're caught red-handed.
Your hands are so red. That there's no more hand.
It's just read like you is this. There's no way out of that
legitimately no way out of that at that point.
But, you know, kids trying to be like, oh, I don't know anything.
Like I was doing my math homework, which She very
clearly, she had nothing written that she liked to scribbles
right now and also your cameras on your mics on.
It's it's also all recorded. You can't get out of this
anyways though. Eventually everyone sees Kate
disappear from the zoom class and the teacher disappear from
Zoom class as well. So pretty obviously they went on
to a breakout room. So Alex of the subscriber was
not in that breakout room because he had a test to do.
And also, why would he be in there?
But from the following results, / actions it was pretty clear to
everyone. That Kate got caught cheating
and was, you know, punished accordingly so, okay to not show
up to that class for the next week, which was probably the
suspension, which I don't know how you get suspended over.
Zoom, like, oh no, you don't have to show up to zoom class.
Like, okay, yeah, but that was probably the most blatant form
of cheating that has ever happened in.
Also the dhamma is treating ever because what is she actually get
out of that? Let's say she got away with
that. Like her mic was turned off or
something. She would have still failed.
