Is it possible for my school to get me introuble for exposing a standarized test online? Please read.?

Question

I live on a small island called Guam and even we take the SAT 10 because we are a U.S. territory. Anyways, while I was in class i snapped a picture of my answer sheet and posted it on facebook. My only intention for doing so was to share with people that I guessed on my Social Science part of the test. I bubbled in for the entire section the answer "A" and that's what i exposed out online. It was a small joke to express how much us kids on Guam don't care about the test because it doesn't effect our actual grades in school. I was immediately brought in to the office and was suspended for the maximum of 10 days and given work detail. Again, i didn't know this was illegal in any way. For your information, my school DID NOT have any listings of this being a violation within the school and they made this new violation in their board policy on the spot. Is it my fault for taking the picture and posting it? Or is it my schools fault for not informing and preventing us of the consequences of this action? I'm trying to defend myself. They basically got me in trouble for a law that was made only after the fact it already happened. My question is again, do they have the right to do this to me? and who's fault is it really? I now know my wrong doing of exposing the test but i exposed me guessing as a joke of how I personally don't take the SAT10 seriously. Please help me.

The SAT 10 is a national test that the U.S. and all it's territories and whatever take to show the standings of the kids in a school and how they compare to the world.

Answer 1

It is not stupid. If somebody complains tomorrow that SAT 10 paper is leaked ( probably ) and somebody points to the posting on the facebook then it will be a serious issue. This is a national exam. Whether results are significant or not, the paper was not evaluated when it was posted in facebook. Even though you posted after the exam showing your answers "there is no way to prove that you did not get the question paper in advance, you practiced it and posted it on the internet after the exam to show that you are smart". If I argue like this can you deny it or provide a counter argument for the same ? However insignificant the exam is you should not have done that .. In these days university is very particular about posting the course ware and class room recordings in the internet forget about posting the answer paper that too before evaluation.

Answer 2

You basically need to prove that you violate NO policies in order to fight this. Even having the phone is school, or taking pictures in school, are likely already posted policies which you violated. Read about ex post facto, which is what you are talking about.

Personally, I don't think you have a leg to stand on. Enjoy your 10 day staycation.

Answer 3

some issues are patently incorrect and the college has no could record all of them. while you positioned all A solutions you think of that it replace right into a humorous tale. thousands of thousands of greenbacks are spent each year to enhance those exams and putting solutions on line can wreck the entire checking out technique for each man or woman who takes the try. it is your fault and in basic terms by way of fact you do no longer take it extreme, i will assure you that a lot of people do.
