Go To

After starting out poorly in Mr. Collins' math class, Kevin's grades start to get better, at a C average. Kevin overhears classmates discuss plans to cheat on the next test. Thinking they would get caught, he is surprised when they don't, and get passing grades, so Kevin decides to take their offer of help to cheat. Kevin passes his test but feels guilty about it, especially when Mr. Collins moves him to an advanced math class. When Kevin decides to confess, Mr. Collins reveals that he knew all along that Kevin had cheated.

Includes examples of

  • The B Grade: Paul complains when he gets a B on his math test, comparing it to kissing his sister. Since Kevin has been getting a C average, he asks Paul who he's kissing.
  • The Chess Master: Somehow, Mr. Collins knew that Kevin cheated, and put him in his advance class to put guilt in him. When Kevin asks how he found out, all he says is that every mystery has an answer.
