The teacher asked me to speak with her ... I just dont know what to say to her. It was a make-up test she had missed when she was sick.

I would ask the teacher what she was doing. If she was just looking in the book it is because she hasn't learnt the material that she missed when she was not there, if she was talking to others that is slightly more of a problem.
Ask your daughter why she did it and if the teacher gave her time to learn the missed material or whether the make up test was a surprise. Ask the teacher if she can make up with a written project (which will be more work and therefore a punishment in itself) so that she is not missing any marks in her grade book as that will effect her grade.
Hope this helps.

Let her know that cheating is the easy way out...If she want to truly learn and earn her grades its not easy. It isnt supposed to be easy, that is why they "test" her. Believe me, if I had it to do all over again I would have earned my grades when I had the chance. It is much easier later in life to know how to do things than have to take the time to learn them again, it also makes you more confident and knowledgable. I would have made use of the opportunities I had to learn, and not taken them for granted. Let her know it may not effect her now, but later in life there will be a time those skills may be needed and she will kick herself for missing the chance to have them. She may so, "it was just a stupid history test, when will I ever need that". Well someday she may be in a job interview and it may be that her interviewing manager has an interest in something historical that she could have learned from taking that test...It would be a great help if she had that same interest or at least a knowledge of it even to be able to relate with them and show she is well studied. That is at least my two cents.....You never know until you need it.

Tell her that you're disappointed in her. Tell her you thought she had better judgement. Your daughter makes her own decisions and you have no control over that, but you do have control over how she feels about her decisions. She'll care about your opinion, Especially if you have a good relationship. You can and should punish her so maybe she will make better choices in the future. Make sure your daughter knows that all actions have an equal and opposite reaction and if she didn't want to get in trouble, she shouldn't have cheated on the test.

How about YOU ARE GROUNDED! It's OK with you she cheated on a test??? So she was sick, she should have already known the material. You going to let her get away with this??? What kind of poor excuse are you for a parent??? There is no reason what-so-ever that makes it OK to cheat on a test!!! Is that how you want her to get through college? Her life?

Tell her it is wrong. Then take her cell phone and car away for a week. She will either learn to not cheat, or learn to not get caught. She also needs to apologize to the teacher in person. The teacher will probably never trust her again, though.

Ask her why. Maybe she has trouble studying and needs to learn to prep for tests, or maybe she is having difficulty in school in general.
Give her an appropriate punishment, and make sure you listen to her excuses. My sister was caught cheating on a test in grade 8, and that was how we finally found out that she has a mild learning problem that affects her memorization skills.

You need to tell that you are disappointed and make sure she knows that it was wrong. There needs to be a consequence for her actions. Frankly, if you don't know what to say to your daughter about cheating then maybe you are part of the problem. Your daughter needs you to be her parent not her friend.

Find out why she cheated. Teach her to set aside study time, and offer a tutor if she is studying and still not understanding the material. Explain why cheating is not appropriate.

DO NOT YELL AT HER. She'll get annoyed and will not trust you anymore. Sit with her and say," Your teacher called. She said you were caught cheating on a test. Is that true?" If she says yes because she forgot to stufy, get her a tutor

I hope you ground her and I hope she gets an F on the test. I bet if the teacher called her out in class in front of everyone she would never do it again.
