My entitled teacher accuses me of plagiarizing my project, and as a result, she forces me to provide evidence that I didn't cheat, forcing me to go to extreme measures, just to prove my innocence.

Here's what happened.

So I had a pretty lousy teacher for eighth grade social studies.

To give you an idea of this, there was a unit where she asked the class if anyone seriously thought that they would want to be the president someday, and would explain that something like that needs to be your calling.

Someone asked her if teaching was her calling, and after pausing, she answered honestly and said no.

Now onto the story a question.

One of the bigger projects that we had was called News Summary, or something like that.

The point was simple.

To encourage us to be aware of current events, we were required to read, watch, or listen to the news, and write three Senate summaries.

No citations or sources needed.

She just wanted to see that we were informed about things in the news.

This was a piece of cake.

I wrote my summaries, turned them in, and thought nothing more of it.

I still thought nothing of it a couple of days later, when she spent the entire class ranting about ethics and plagiarism.

You know how you feel when someone calls a meeting to admonish the entire group, for something that someone did wrong, that why am I stuck listening to this garbage feeling?

That was me.

At one point, she asked everyone to close their eyes, and said to us,

raise your hand if you'd like another shot at the project.

So now imagine my shock when at the end of class, she asked me to stay behind.

She says to me,

You've always been one of my better students.

I am really surprised that you didn't speak up in class today.
