STUDY HELPS u Creative Cheating, of course. od. I wish I studied last night! Well. I had to finish up that graph for Algebra. Or was it for Chemistry? I could ... cheat. NO! • Yes! C'mon, it's not like I'm taking the whole test. All I need is that one vocabulary word, and the sentence is mine! But it’s wrong! Grow up. face reality! Well ... okay, but just this one word! STOP RIGHT THERE! screams the teacher, jabbing a three-foot pointer under the student's neck, lifting him off his seat. Words spew from his sadistic smile like Regan McNeil's in The Exorcist. I'm going to bite your eyeballs out and immerse them in saline! He swallows a breath and calms. For now. just sit down and think about what you've done.” The student shrinks back into his seat, trembling, a fraction of the man he was. Just for wanting to know what quotienscumque means. He thought about what he had done, and found that it would have been easier if he had prepared for the test. No. not studying! Creative cheating, of course! Time is the most important factor here. For the more creative hobbyist with time to burn, the possibilities are literally endless. Be warned, however, for even the most carefully crafted plan is not infallible. Your hard hours of shrewd scheming may be minutes of small talk in the teachers' lounge the next day. One of Mr. Knittel's favorite stories recounts the tale of a Greek student who asked if he could use his calculator during the test. Okay. Then again, why! Nevertheless, the kid punched those buttons with a passion. Purely out of curiosity. Mr. Knittel checked it out. Coincidently. the buttons on the calculator corresponded to Greek vocabulary. You figure it out. Another pioneer in the area of electronics is the guy who sacrificed his timepiece in the line of duty. The night before the test, he wrote a few hints on a few sheets of paper, then scrolled them up to needle-width for storage in his watch. The best feature about this plan was that is was re usable. And. of course, the fact that it worked perfectly. The award for Best Teacher Participation unanimously goes to Mr. Watson. This story, which is more myth than fact, had some say in the vote: Before Mr. Watson came to class, a student who happened to have the answers written out on a sheet decided to share his knowledge with the rest of the class, so he taped the sheet to the back of Mr. Watson's coat. Unwittingly. Mr. Watson put the jacket on. and all of the class passed. How Mr. Watson never found out I couldn’t tell you. Yes. all this goes on. Sure, we knew it. But there are a few who don’t. Mr. Toman reports that outside of a little writing on the desk, the students here rarely cheat. To what end do we have to go? 16 A Day in the Life
