This wouldn't fly in the States...
In India, students were forced to wear boxes over their heads to prevent them from cheating, according to this CNN article which includes photos of the box-headed students apparently taking some sort of test.
Needless to say, someone took some photos, posted 'em to the Internet, and people were clearly all up in the feels about this, because, who wouldn't be up in the feels about some sort of boxes on some sorts of heads...
The school has sense apologized.
