A teacher took a job in a rural part of the country. Which was new to him. This girl in his class was late a lot and did pda with her boyfriend in class. He tried to discourage them,, but it didn't work. He sent them to the principal, that didn't work as well. On an assignment, the girl hands in an incomplete paper with many errors. He hands it back to her with nit an F but a D. Thus girl was a straight A student. The parents come into his class at end of day to complain bringing an administrator with them. He answered all questions why she got the D. Next week he is called into the principal office and told to give the girl an A. He changes girl's paper to an A as he was instructed to. Also he changed all the student's grades to an A. When the other students asked why he did this he said don't worry about it.
The principal calls him in about all the A grades. He told him I wanted to be fair to all my students, so they wouldn't suffer. The principal shut up. Turns out 2 people in principals office were relatives of girl. Couldn't fire them since there were not enough people in town to take the job that would be qualified. What to do.
I say this guy was working with spirit consciously or unconsciously. Good work.
