I woke up this morning expecting a pretty standard day. Little did I know that it would have one of the largest moral decisions I have ever made. I discovered my online PLC grade was a 93% on the test I though I had bombed. I was ecstatic especially since the average was like a low 70%. I got to class and when I got my test back I discovered I really earned a 63% but Claude wrote it down wrong in the grade book.
This test was the difference between me having a mid B and a High D, and here I was stuck trying to decide should I take the crappy grade and do the morally right thing, or keep my mouth shut and get a great grade. It took every ounce of will power that I had to crawl to Claude’s office and tell him the truth. I’ll probably regret this later on especially when I may be retaking the class, but at least I know I was honest and that I am the kind of person I’d respect.
