To encourage DD to fake a sporting injury during her GCSEs so as she can use a computer?

[BigSandyBalls2015]

DD(16) took her first set of mock GCSEs last Dec - she had injured her hand during a football match and had two fingers taped up on her writing hand. So she was put in a separate room with a computer to type her mocks and did better than she expected.

Currently doing a second set of mocks, with everyone else in the main hall, writing instead of a computer and has found it much harder.

So would I be unreasonable to encourage a fake injury in May?

When I was at school they were 2-3 each exam season who would suddenly get wrist injuries.
Uuuggghhhh

Way to go to teach your child its perfectly ok to be dishonest and to cheat.

You're seriously considering teaching your daughter to cheat and lie?

You're more than unreasonable. You're unfit to parent. Despicable behaviour.

If the school twig, they will write to the exam board. The exam boards can choose not to award any exams to a student who cheats, regardless of what they would have got.

Yes they will regard faking injury as cheating.

"Use of a laptop isn't an applied for access arrangement, it can be used 'on demand' if it is their 'normal way of working'. It comes under 'reasonable adjustments'. Have a word with the HoY/SENCo , I'm afraid schools are all about results and if use of a laptop ups your daughters grades they will let her use one.

That link is about the legal requirements for disabled children. Evidence of need is submitted and any arrangement outside of the norm is authorised for that particular kid.

The school can do what it want in a mock, in an real exam there are strict rules.

There are lots of parents playing the game that you are with their children's exams....
All it does is make it more difficult for the parents like me whose child has a genuine disability to get that recognised by exam boards - because they are dealing with all of he bogus claims from people like you. Zero sympathy from here.

I slammed a glass door on my brother and he slashed the artery in his wrist. He had to dictate his history a level to a scribe. I think he may have forgiven me 42 years later.

DS2 had a badly broken shoulder/clavicle during his mocks on his writing arm. He had a scribe for some exams and later a computer and 20 minutes extra time, though all exams still in the main hall.

He was then scheduled for surgery the Feb half term before his actual GCSEs last year so that he would be fully healed by exam time. Following surgery it was completely immobile for 2 months, no writing whatsoever during exam prep.

The whole thing was really difficult and stressful. I can't imagine faking an injury, it beggars belief.
