Peeping the answers
22 July 2008
In other words, cheating…
Sadly, you cheated by copying the answers for the Sudoku exercise, which was just the next page. When you do your work, sometimes, you’ll ask us not to look at how you do your work. If you are doing well, we’ll normally agree to it and leave you alone to finish up…
Why did you choose to cheat? Because of the new “toy” Daddy bought, WiiFit. Daddy and Mummy promised you that after your homework, you can get to play with it. So you did your work and when it came to the Sudoku exercise, you asked us not to see how you do your work. I was surprised you finished so fast, not suspecting anything amissed. However Mummy caught it as she too couldn’t believe it was so fast.
Initially, you deny it but after further asking, you admitted to cheating. Both of us tried to be calm and hope to get the message across that cheating is not welcome and frowned upon. In a way, I was glad you did, as it was a significant learning opportunity. I hope you’ll really get it and just do you best and not resort to cheating. As long as you did your best, it’s good enough for us.
