Hi, today i had a test for maths advanced it was a formal assessment and it was so hard so i ripped a few pages and put it in my pocket (with the bad intention that i might have the opportunity of retaking because the teacher might of thought he lost them) later in the day he called me out of class and confronted me and i came clean, he said i am getting a N-Award and he said he was flagging me for "academic misconduct" to NESA ( can someone explain what that is), the main question i have is if this problem will affect my early entry opportunities or even me taking the HSC
i go to a school that does the same sort of garbage and they are probably just trying to scare you to prevent you and others around you from doing this sort of stuff or even worse stuff like cheating. you don't have things like academic misconduct records or flagging for NESA or whatever. even if there is such a thing this will probably never show up again outside the context of your high school - aka. when you apply for uni. unless you are like a repeat offender and you always cheat this is not smth you should worry too much about and no this does not affect your chances of taking the hsc or whatever.
if your school is somehow trying to get you into massive trouble or fail you or something like that, stand your ground. you are tecnhically in the wrong and this is academic misconduct but failing you, flagging you to nesa (whatever the hell that means) etc. is not valid. this incident shouldnt affect you in the long run bc this is just a one time thing and in the grand scheme of things its not a crime. dont try to justify what you did, but make sure if they are trying to do smth drastic or something really damaging to you, make an effort to negotiate politely.
for bullshit teachers like this you should try sending in an apology email and maybe theyll cool down and forget abt it. it typically works bc they are less bothered about you cheating and more bothered abt extra work they have to do to make sure you dont do it again, so they are usually willing to let to go if you are kind of nice to them
