| I appreciate the point about other kids' grades being at risk. This OP quickly adjusted his own mark upwards, and now regrets it deeply. Fortunately, he did not tamper with other kids' grades in a downward direction although the teacher left him in a position to do so.
Back in the day before computer notes, my academically talented cousin had his handwritten notebook from a year of course lectures stolen during a quick bathroom break at library, during a group study session. He came to understand this was done by other pre-med students who were all studying in public right before a crucial exam. His extremely high grades were "messing up their curve." He took his exam with that handicap, and went on to medical school, as did some of the classmates.
Today he teaches medical students at the graduate level in a university. I assume he's extremely careful with his own computerized notes on all of his students today. |
