my son cheated on an exam in high school last year. i was disappointed when he told me, and i gave him the choice to come clean. i told him i would not turn him in, that only he could decide that. he decided to tell the teacher what he did
he got the punishment he deserved. failed the exam, failed the class. had to make it up over the summer. learned his lesson i am sure. but i would rather he do that then cover his tracks and get rewarded for dishonesty.
he did the right thing, how did the teacher react?
