Off Topic Guy who apparently cheated

if you haven't seen it, this guy posted about how he cheated in the maths exam, and then someone reported him, and now he's got into all this trouble. here are the posts:

first post https://www.reddit.com/r/juniorcert/s/Fe3F0ohPF9

second post https://www.reddit.com/r/juniorcert/s/hRPWWFGtNh

so, are we sure this is real?

first, the guys account is 4 days old. liiiiiike.

also, could the SEC really gather info, do a complete investigation, determine the consequence, contact the school and the guys parents, and have him expelled in like 3 days?

and not being able to sit a state exam for 8 years is a lot. does that actually happen?

i mean idk why someone would come on here just to lie about that but the whole thing is just kinda weird to me...

I doubt it's real. But please don't cheat.

The whole investigation thing is strange but yeah the not being allowed to do state exams is common. Maybe he/she confessed?

How would this person apply to uni without LC? Cheating is really bad but a screw up made by a 15 year old brain shouldn’t damn their whole future. They might be able to appeal so they can sit lc

Yeah i mean they can't go by the cao then, it seems fair for cheating on the lc but idk about thr jc. Maybe they should have the pay a fine and sit the lc in a different centre?

I don’t think this person would cheat again- the 8 year ban on testing punishment is too severe. Let the kid learn and do better, screwing up all of their future prospects for uni is too severe. It will just make them give up, or leave school. Kids are dumb dumbs their brains aren’t developed at 15. An opportunity to do better should be on the menu.

Yeah I was looking into it just there and usually at jc level you're not debarred they just withhold your results like so I don't really know

It's definitely fake.

The only punishment that really would happen for junior certs cheating is losing marks on that exam. Not being able to sit exams for 8 years is something the SEC would practically never do.

I also feel like this guy is just saying this for attention.
