Peer Pressured?
One of the other classes (my sister's grade) cheated on a big test. They told the teacher, but she says they have to give specific names so they can have a retest. She doesn't want to tattle on some of her friends, but what can she do?

It's a Conscience issue. Will she sleep at night. No one can tell her what to do but she has to way up what is at stake.
Hard one. The teacher really has to get to the bottom of it and maybe a deal could be struck quietly if it has to be. It's a personal call by the involved.
Been there, done that. Your sister and everybody should calm down cause this episode will be forgotten in short time. If the teacher didn't catch the one who cheated, lucky for him, he can do nothing. As a teacher, he cannot give someone a bad mark just because the others said he cheated. The most fair thing would be a new test for all the class, and if the ones who cheat do this again and are not caught, they are sure good at this!
Nothing...she already did her part. The teacher wants the person your talking about to do all of the work that the teacher is supposed to be doing, to make it easier on the teacher. Tell her not to worry about it any longer. She did her part. It is up to the teacher to either come up with a different test, give the tests over, mix up the questions on the papers, so everyone doesn't know that on one test the answers are a, b, c, d and on the other they are b, d, a, c. Same questions, just asked in a different order. So when one cheater says to another student, "what's the answer for #2, and the person says "b" and the other person gets it wrong, because on their test the answer for #2 is "d". But, again, it is not the responsibility of the student who "enlightened" the teacher, to do the teachers work for her/him.
Face the consequences, it's not the end of the world but it will give her an invaluable life lesson she'll carry all her life.
well........cheating is already a bad thing as it is and if they can get away with this then they could probably gat away with another one as well.
tell her to just say, she doesn't know about anyone else...
don't cheat again.
Don't tell.
