The Honor Code
When we’re in school, our grades are the most important thing in the world to us. As a result, when it comes to midterms and finals, students try to find creative ways to cheat on the tests. However, this teacher made it abundantly clear to her class that she was already onto them with a poem.
The poem went: “You can look down in desperation, or up for inspiration… but don’t look side to side for information.” Nobody ever risked doing what this teacher considered the unthinkable in her class. Future teachers will be thankful for this too because, for some students, this message stuck with them for the rest of their academic careers.
