detention

today is a sad day for me. yeah its a saterday, but it has been made a sad one by my geometry teacher. as you could have guessed by the title of this blog, i have gotten a detention. this is the first one i have every received, and i feel terrible. but i will now explain the how and the why and all that crap

so yeah, as the school year comes to a close, we had a final review packet to work on for about a month, i among a majority of my classmates waited till the last moment to work on it. i myself did not copy someones paper, but i allowed mine to be copied off of.

so the other day my teacher goes to the front of the room and tells my class that she has been working her tail off trying to prevent academic dishonesty this year. she said that while she was checking this review packet she found several with shockingly similar answers. she stopped grading part way through because she wanted to tell us this. she then asked for those who had cheated to talk to her after class or school. of course i assumed that I wouldn't get caught, I had not copied off anyone. well i was wrong

today she handed out the packets and said, if you don't get yours back, talk to me after class. well i was one of those poor people. we all stood around her and she talked about how disappointed she was. most people tried to weasel their way out by saying that they "worked together" with people and they "got help". i just said "i allowed someone to look at my packet." she dismissed everyone and asked for a note explaining their situations by the end of the day. she handed me a detention sheet and told me to fill it out, saying who i let my paper to. so i wrote the following

"one day in ap euro [student X] requested to see my review packet. i handed it to him and allowed him to veiw it."

she then said she was gunna have to call my parents, i said go ahead. i said i'll talk to them first so call in the evening.

she still hasn't called and its 9:30pm. i don't know why but maybe she isn't going to call, i don't know. but my parents were not to mad. just disappointed. i hadn't cheated, just helped someone else todo so. this is my tale. isn't it great?

so yeah. on tuesday i have a 3:15, of a "teacher detention". its depressing.
