Some fifty years ago, I was studying in a middle school in New York.One day, Mrs.O’Neil gave a maths test to our class.When the papers were marked, she found that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes in the test.
There is nothing new about cheating in exams.Perhaps that was why Mrs.O’Neil didn't even say one word about it.She only asked the twelve boys to stay after class.I was one of the twelve.
Mrs.O’Neil asked no questions, and she didn't scold us, either.Instead, she wrote the following words on the blackboard:On your way home you find some money and you’re completely sure that you will never be found out.Later someone comes to ask you if you have found some money he lost.What will you do?
She then ordered us to write down the question, and asked us to take our whole lives to try to find out our own answer to it.
I don't know about the other eleven children.Speaking for myself I can say:it was the most important single thing of my life.From then on, I have been asking this question to myself when I have to make a decision.
Because of this, Mrs.O’Neil has become the most unforgettable teacher for me in my whole life.I often think of this:if Mrs.O’Neil had scolded us as many other teachers often did, would I go on cheating every day?
