There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear!

    In my sophomore year of high school our English class had to write an essay about a book. Can't remember which book, but it doesn't matter. Well when our essays were handed back, no one had gotten a good grade on it.

    The teacher told us that we had to revise our essays based on the corrections we were given and then turn them in again. She wanted 3 copies, the original, the revised one with corrections we made highlighted, and a final copy without the highlights. I look at mine and compare it to everyone else's essay, everyone else has the teacher's comments written in red, things underlined,

    stuff crossed out. Mine just has my grade, it was a D. So I talk to my teacher after class and ask her what I needed to fix since my essay had none of her comments.
  • 05
    Her response was that I had to rewrite my essay. Again, I ask what do I need to change to get a better grade. She tells me that it wasn't good and I needed to rewrite the entire essay. Cue my malicious compliance. I rewrote my entire essay... word for word...

    TWICE! One for the highlighted copy and one for the final draft. I highlighted random words and sentences on the highlighted copy, but again, it was the same as the one that was given a D. A week later we get our grades back and mine had improved to a B. The annoying part was that I couldn't even call her out on it

    because my school has a plagiarism policy where you can't submit the same assignment twice because that would be cheating.

    Sidenote: this teacher also wrote on a different book essay of mine, "did you even read the book." When I had gotten yelled at for reading that same book in her class instead of listening to her teach.

    Asleep_Priority6... • 18h ago My brother had an English class where he was very certain the teacher wasn't even looking at essays. He started writing, "In conclusion, I like pie" at the end of every single essay, regardless of essay topic. It took 4 or 5 reports for her to notice and make a comment on it.

    Tipped OverTricy... 19h ago You definitely should've called yourself out for plagiarism because you were instructed to submit the exact same assignment.

    Equivalent-Salar... . 18h ago During my sophomore year in high school a couple of friends and I noticed that we always got the same grade on our weekly essays. Ben always got an "A+", I always got a "B", and Sam always got a "C".
  • 14
    The next week the three of us turned in identical essays (except for handwriting). Ben got an "A+", I got a "B", and Sam got a "C".
  • 15
    No, we didn't turn her in. We now knew that we could turn in just about anything and get the same grades. I was fine with a "B", and Sam was okay with a "C", so why rock the boat and have to work harder as a result?

    Silknight 17h ago My first semester at college I had an English professor who assigned an initial essay on "any subject of your choosing to an audience of your peers". Did my essay on the possible negative effects of the human potential movement.

    A week later we got them back, my grade: "No credit, see me". I asked the teacher what was wrong, he said he didn't like the subject and that I needed to write about something else. So I write a whole other essay, turned it in at the start of the next class. While in that class we were discussing something in the textbook when out of the blue, the teacher brings

    up the subject of my first (failed) essay, quotes directly from my paper. I look at him, he is looking at me and he says "but that's my own opinion". Since only he and I had read my original essay, only he and I knew what he had just done. Left class, walked to the admin
