Cheating on a College Entrance Exam in China

Recently in China, there were eight parents that were jailed because they were caught helping their children cheat in a high tech way on a college entrance exam. They persuaded some teachers to fax them the tests prior to the exam. Equipped with earpieces, the parents were able to relay the answers to the students taking the exam, while the exam was in progress. The sentence that the parents were given was six months to three years in prison. There were even more elaborate ways in which some parents tried to assist their children in cheating that involved scanners, and also large sums of money.
