Daily Joke: Teacher Tells Little Johnny He Was Cheating during Test

A teacher was briefing her class on the importance of staying fair and avoiding cheating at all possible costs. She kept emphasizing the point that cheating was a bad habit to adopt, and nobody respected cheaters and liars in society.

"I hope you enjoyed today's discussion, and that you will try to implement it in your daily lives. Now if you have any questions, I'm here to answer them," said the teacher at the end of their discussion.

Soon afterward, a girl named Elena raised her hand to ask a question. "Can you kindly tell me the difference between 'helping' and 'cheating?' It always confuses me when I try differentiating between these two," she asked. The teacher replied:

"If Jacob asks you a Science question before the exam and you tell him the answer, that's considered helping. However, if he asks you a question during the exam and you end up telling him how to answer it, you're basically letting him cheat from you."

"So if you don't have any more questions, I guess that's all for today. Think about all that we discussed when you go home, and study well for your test. I'll see you all tomorrow," added the teacher and then walked out.

The very next day, the students showed up for the test, and after finishing it, the teacher walked over to Little Johnny's desk and asked him to see her in the office after class.

"You asked me to come and see you in your office. Is everything okay?" asked Little Johnny.

“Johnny, I have a feeling that you have been cheating on your tests,” said the teacher. “You know I can’t condone cheating.”

Little Johnny was dumbfounded to hear this and immediately asked the teacher to present him with supporting evidence.

"Well, okay," began the teacher. “I was looking over your test and the question was, 'Who was our first president?', and the student who sits next to you, Mary, put 'George Washington,' and so did you."

"So, everyone knows that he was the first US president," remarked Johnny, sounding as confident as ever.

"Well, just wait for a minute," she continued. "Then the next question was, 'Who freed the slaves?' Mary put Abraham Lincoln and so did you."

"Well, I read the history book last night and I remembered that," answered Little Johnny.

"Wait, I'm not done," added the teacher. "The next question was, 'Who was president during the Louisiana Purchase?' Mary put 'I don't know,' and you put, 'Me neither."

Indeed Little Johnny tried as hard as he could to stay clean, but the teacher was smart enough to figure out the truth!
