First of all, your 'friend' is not really much of a friend! Whereas I do not condone your actions, I would stick by my friends no matter what! This so called friend of yours-is blackmailing you and is emotionally holding you hostage. You say we should not send you messages to own up but as far as I see it when a person is being blackmailed the best defense is to disarm the blackmailer and give them nothing to use against you. If you go to the teacher and apologise and ask forgiveness and for another chance to redo the test -you will most likely get respect and a second chance. If however you are reported -you can expect to get the book thrown at you. You may even be suspended or worse. It's your choice if you want to remain with a gun at your head or do the right thing. Short of owning up the only advise I can offer is to get something on your 'friend'. Use that as leverage and threaten to expose him/her if they don't back off and keep their mouth shut. If you would be expelled from school or something equally detrimental then I suggest you simply deny it! Besides, it's your word against this person's word. Assuming you did not copy every single answer-thus getting the exact mark as the person you copied from then I don't see a problem. The other point is the more time that goes by after the exam makes your friends story even less credible being that any teacher would question why he did not come forward sooner and wonder what the motive is for the student only now giving you up!!

Something very similar to that happened to my daughter when she was in seventh or eighth grade.  She wrote a very polite letter to the principal and copied it to the teacher who gossiped, explaining what happened, and that she felt the teacher should not have done that.  The result was that the teacher apologized.  The key here would be for you to be very calm and courteous in your letter and simply explain what happened and that you think it isn't right for the teacher to discuss your personal information.  Best of luck with getting it resolved.

Your training should have  covered  most of  that--how  about talking  with  other, older  teachers  and  maybe  they will  share  their personal  pearls of  wisdom.\n\nBUT , as  an educator, it is  also  your  responsibility to LISTEN to  what  the  students say,  no matter how  far- fetched it may be.Get  to  know  your  students and  gain their  trust-you  may be the first one  to notice continuing abuse  or  neglect of the lil  ones !

You should have approached the teacher that actually did it, to try and get them to come forward on their own.  If that was not something that they were willing to do, then really you should have felt no guilt in getting them in trouble.  A suspension and quiting without notice will follow you to your next job, and only make things harder for you in the future.  You have to be your own best advocate.

I would tell the teacher. But your partner may deny it so be prepared to stand your ground. I mean why should you fail just because your partner is too lazy to actually do the work?

Just let him know sometime during the day that you want to speak to him privately. Give him an idea of what it is about, and set up a time.\nMake it clear that this is something you want to keep private. Teachers are there to help you, and he will feel glad that you felt comfortable enough to confide in him.

Send another email apologizing for the mistake and explain to him that it was not meant to go to him. If your teacher does not bring it up say nothing.... let it stay an unspoken embarrassment. It is not that big of a deal. If he brings it up just stick to your guns and apologize for sending to him by mistake. Don't go overboard with the apology though, the bigger of a deal that you make out of it, the bigger of a deal it will become. If this teacher changes the way he treats you or brings up the mistake on a regular basis be sure and report the situation to the proper administration officials at your school. Good Luck.

You don't want to jeopardize his teaching career.  You shouldn't say anything unless the professor makes the first move.  If he makes the first move, then he's voluntarily putting his career on the line then.

You already said you know telling the truth is right, what you're scared about is what will happen when you do. Odds are, your mum and teacher will each lecture you on how important it is to tell the truth, and there may be a punishment of some kind from your mum.  But what you should be more scared of is what happens if you don't tell the truth. Teacher gets after the other girls for being nasty, they deny it, they get in trouble, Teacher gets after you because of what your mum told her and now she has reason to suspect it's untrue, you get in trouble with teacher, Teacher tells mum, you get in trouble with mum for being a liar, the other girls probably find out and you get in trouble with them.  Lots more drama then if you suck it up and go tell your mum right now, and then tell your teacher. maybe mum will go with you to tell her. I know it's hard, but you can do it. best of luck!!

School teachers sometimes have to act like jackasses to get in their bluff. First of all - how much stock do you put into your son's story? If he was verbally abusive, that I see as a problem, however, if the teacher is denying him restroom priveleges for flimsy reasons, then that is a problem. Do this --call and make an appointment with the principal to discuss the whole issue in front of the student and teacher. Do not take sides - just listen to both sides before you determine the elements of truth. Both sides could be garnishing the truth. I would visit with my son before I call even to make sure that he knows that he and you are preparing to face this together - if he is storying to you or over exaggerating, he will have a chance to fess up and save you the embarrassment of the visit. \nI once had to go to school because my son was accused of fighting by a teacher. The assistant principal put him on 3 day suspension. I made an appointment with the principal and asked that the teacher, my son, and the other student be part of the meeting - he agreed. On the day of the meeting, I met with the teacher, principal and my son - but no other student. When I asked why, they said that he was represented by the teacher. Going on with the meeting, I found that the teacher did not see my son deliver any blows nor have any evidence against him, and that's when the fur hit the fan. I informed the principal that if he was going to take the word of one student over the word of my son, then I had to object to his suspending my son and not the other student. Caught in an embarrassing situation, the principal asked for an apology from me and my son, and sent him back to class. Now, your situation may not work out so smoothly, but you can gain a lot by digging - just be ready to accept that your son may be blowing this thing up to cover for a mistake that he made. By the way, I still don't know who started the fight at school.   Good luck!!

Only you and she can really know the answer to this question. Why don't you speak with her? Tell her what you'd like to be able to do and ask her why you are not allowed to help others, particularly if you are her "assistant"\n\nSigh. Thumb trolls strike again. My answer is a valid possible way to handle the situation. Talking with the teacher is a good way to try to resolve the issue.

You should tell a teacher and your parents. Leave the next step up to them.

You should report this person and make sure they're expelled...make a stand and show that you're not afraid...but try not to get into a fight if you can help it

As a teacher, I doubt they are plotting against you. Personally, I don't have time to plot against any of the students. When things like that happen there are generally two reasons: 1) accident - I had a situation where a student asked me why I had asked them the same question 3 or 4 times - I hadn't realized that I had or 2) the teachers think highly of you or your ability and are therefore trying to give you a challenge.

first off if you were my child I would tell you to not talk in class,\nbut I would make an appointment and go talk to this so called teacher.\nwhat she did was much worse than what you did..\nshe is an authority figure and the students are suppose to follow her lead( learn for what she, she says and what she does )\nI can guarantee she would not like to be treated in this fashion in front of students or her teacher friends..\nyes if I were you I would think it through before you talk to her, but I would make an appointment to talk to her..\nyou can start off by saying you are sorry, this way she can't get on you...\nif this does not solve it go to her boss.

I would talk to the principle and ask her/him to have your locker switched.  Just avoid the jerk!  It's makes no sense to comfront him with a teacher, because it usually makes matters worse.  You don't want him or his friends to call you names like, "tattle-tale" or "snitch".  Boys can be really cruel and immature.  Best to just get away from him.

Had one the same way. I wrote him a note and left it on his desk. When that didn't work. He started to glare at me during class. Teachers don't like to admit they're not doing their job. Or at very least not doing it right. That is what they get paid to do, is teach. If you don't ask you can't learn. I didn't get really angry until I went to tech school. Then I was PAYING  them to teach me. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. If your teacher isn't connecting with you let him know. If that doesn't work let another teacher know. If that doesn't work let the principle know. If that doesn't work let your parents know. If that doesn't work E-Mail Me.
