[quote]The images were taken during a chemistry exam at Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri, Karnataka state.
They showed students wearing boxes, cut open on one side, to prevent them from being able to copy other people's work.
A junior college administrator has spoken publicly and apologised to district officials for the incident.
MB Satish told BBC Hindi he was sorry for trying to use the unusual anti-cheating technique.
He said the school has only implemented the measure on an "experimental basis" after hearing of its use elsewhere. [/quote]
Talk about, thinking outside the box, am I right?? My school apparently used to do this, which is crazy to think about, but they stopped doing it after complaints.

Are we sure this wasn’t just Minecraft day at their school?

I’d have all the answers written on the inside of the box

I don’t see an issue

I remember standing cardboard up on our desks to make private workstations in elementary school.

I read title as boxers. Good God I'm tired

Genius idea tbf, can't read the paper next to you. I suppose if they find the boxes demeaning then a better solution would be some kind of hat 🤷♂️ or individual tables but maybe that schools just doesn't have the budget for either so they used boxes.
-
Thought it was really weird, but worth trying if it worked. Apparently they didn't even force them to do it, most of them just brought boxes from home. I personally would have brought a box from home with answers written inside.

I wish my school did that

Never apologize for being the smartest school in the country.

Why was this a problem?

In elementary we had folder things that looked like DM screen.

I mean, if it looks dumb, but does the trick, it's not really that dumb.

Why are they apologizing?
-
I mean, that’s a pretty ingenious way for someone to not cheat.

I wish I did that
