Back in high school and middle school, all the time. Not all of the wrong answers, but enough to ensure a good grade.
I dunno. Him not having to stay behind and redo the tests meant the risk of being jumped on the way home lessened - helped him too. That, and not seeing my friends as competition for some shitty test to please a teacher who couldn't be arsed to mark the stuff himself. Never stopped either of us getting a career. I'd say sticking up for one another did that more.You're hurting yourself by helping the competition and robbing them of the opportunity to better themselves. You're literally helping no one.
The objective was to learn though, you may have been doing it wrong.I dunno. Him not having to stay behind and redo the tests meant the risk of being jumped on the way home lessened - helped him too.

Almost like I literally helped him....
Objective was to get through school. We learnt plenty on the way, again, since we managed to get ourselves into vocations that actually mattered to us more than, say, a random test on trigonometry.The objective was to learn though, you may have been doing it wrong.

That's fucked up! Not her fault they suck. :P I was also a teacher's aide in high school for Freshman English and AP Lit, so I've graded my fair share of papers. Some kids are really just that dumb. I remember grading papers where some students just straight up plagiarized from SparkNotes, like word for word; they didn't even bother to paraphrase. I probably wouldn't have caught it had the flow of the rest of their essay actually matched the shit they plagiarized from lmao.Never. Also, one of my daughters is a teacher aide for one of her credits and she grades a lot of papers for the teacher. She's been threatened by some of the students because "she failed" them.
I probably should have caught on sooner, but it wasn't an all the time thing. The teacher would make us pass the papers all over the room and only their little group would correct wrong or change right answers for others. I would be too embarrassed to show my parents. But they eventually caught on when my grades started getting bad while anything graded by my teacher and out of school tutors always graded much higher. They started wanting to see all my work and noticed the giant black marks covering up my answers. They talked to the teacher and it happened much less. I caught one girl doing it a couple other times.
You mean change it and then give them credit for getting it right? No, that's silly to me. If I had time, I'd write down the correct answer for their future reference though. They still wouldn't get credit for having the correct answer on their page though.The teacher had the class pass papers to someone else to grade. Did you ever sneakily change incorrect answers?
I would write the correct answer next to it but I'd still take off points. The point of school is learning (or SHOULD be), letting them know the right answer will let them, you know, be able to get it right on more important tests. But just changing it would be, frankly, both cheating and wouldn't help them learn.
