Re: Best Story Ever Told To You By A Person Much Older Than You

[personal profile] nonnymouse 2012-12-29 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Told by my mother: Picture it, rural Texas, 1960something, the first day of the new school year, science class.

The teacher was brand new to the area and especially the school. He gave out a practice test, telling everyone not to worry about the grade; he just wanted to know what they had learned thus far. During the test, he walks up and down the classroom, looking over shoulders. Quietly, he takes my mother's test sheet and drops it into the wastebin. He does the same to a boy two seats back from her.

At the end of the test when everything has been handed in, the teacher starts lecturing the class on cheating. He hates cheaters, they're horrible, and they don't really learn anything in the end. He doesn't mention names, but he's obviously eyeing my mother and the boy during the lecture.

Meanwhile, my mother is so enraged that she is crying. She can't stand it anymore, so she grabs her books and heads for the door. The teacher stops her and tells her not to be upset. She has no right to be upset because she got caught.

"I'm going to the principal's office," she says angrily. "I wasn't cheating. If I HAD been cheating, it wouldn't have been with the class clown two seats back, it would have been with the VALEDICTORIAN right next to me."

The office workers are surprised when my mother plops herself into a seat outside the principal's office, still crying. After they get the story out of her, she's allowed to sit and study while someone talks to the teacher. At some point someone tells the teacher that not only is my mother one of the top 5 students in terms of grades, but her father is on the school board. She didn't cheat, and he'll be more careful about such accusations in the future.
