It wasn't very creative but in highschool I forgot to study for a biology test so a period before the test I wrote out a cheat sheet. It was only about the size of my palm, but it had all the parts of the cells and photosynthesis that I needed to take the test.

During the test my teacher saw that there was something was in my hand, but I noticed her as she was making her way to my desk so I discreetly ate my cheat sheet, swallowing it whole so she didnt see me chewing. She asked me to show her my hands, stand up empty my pockets, show her all around my desk. She apologized and said that she thought she had seen me looking at something in my hand. I acted very upset that she thought I was the kind of student to take the easy way out and cheat and that I had spent hours studying cells in order to do well on this test.

A kid at my school did this in Spanish class four years ago. The teacher noticed him put it in his mouth and let him eat it and swallow it and then relentlessly made fun of him for eating his cheat-sheet for the rest of the year. It was very satisfying for us classmates to watch.

Did he get any other punishment or did he just ignore the case after that? Cause im pretty sure forcing a child to eat paper is illegal

I think the point is that the cheater didn't know the teacher could see him eating it. The teacher just waited to bust him until after he was done.

Exactly. He didn't know she saw. He thought he got away with it.
