This story should be interesting.
My psychology class is at 8:00am so I'm not the most wide awake person there. My teacher, who used to be an elementary school teacher, treats us like we are five. So basically all we do is go through the chapter on the powerpoint and then talk about the projects we have to turn in or the papers or tests, etc. Today we had a project due, all of us students are thinking we'll turn them in and talk a little then get out early. Which would be very nice.
Not today my friends.
This morning, she walk's in and tells us to sit down and be quiet. Now let me remind you it is 8am, none of us want to be there. However, she begins telling us a story of how when she was nine she cheated on a test at school and then how she felt so guilty. She confessed to her teacher and blah blah, it all ended up good.
Well, she then looks at us and says I have your tests back, graded and all.
Note-this test was take home AND open book.
She says that before shes gives us the tests she knows that several people cheated and she is very disappointed. She tells us about the schools policy's on cheating and then tells us to open to Chapter 9.
"This chapter is on 'Motivation' and what motivates us to cheat" she tells us.
By now the entire class is sweating. Wondering who cheated and what will happen, trying to remember the test that we took about 3 weeks ago.
Finally after the chapter was over and her cheating lectures.
She gives us our test.
I do have to admit I was nervous. I didn't cheat but it was open book so obviously the answers are going to be like the one's in the book.
I did well on my test and also on my paper. She didn't say anything to me so it wasn't me. Of course. However, she is really upset about it and the students that cheated could possibly be kicked out of school.
Not sure why I'm telling this story. It's funny now, but it wasn't funny at 8 this morning.
