If you don’t see me on AIM by 8 PM call the police and tell ‘em a short Asian dude got mugged and kidnapped by another short Asian dude from his school.

Thanks.

Just a note: Because Albert is not a Lelander his views are not officially sanctioned by the Math-73 class

Also, keep the name-blurting to a minimum. Although I admit I do have popular support in this endeavor I understand they do not want to be involved if possible. Direct any questions or commentary you have here, and I promise I won’t censor them unless they are 1. spam (advertising, etc), 2. illegal or 3. otherwise pointless.

Thank you.

Reacting with violence and irrationality will only prove my point, Kent. Don’t try anything wild at school or elsewhere if you want to be viewed with sympathy.

God, don’t you know when to stop?

Hey, for the 73 final i did really crappy so Langlois is giving me a chance to retake the final with a similar test, however in order for it to not hurt my grade more I need an A on the final…If you can get me the complete solutions to the final we took on December 16th by Wednesday (that would be the 17th of January) let me know by tommorow night (Monday the 15th) so I’ll know if I should retake the test or not. I would really appreciate it if you can. Thanks. (Attached are the questions to the final in case you don’t have them. )

On my knees and begging,
Kent LeVan

Just shut up already! Your grammar sucks, so why do I want to help you? Here, I’ll forward it to Langlois and let him help you

Detective work is fun!

…as the “Duty Fulfiller”, I followed through on the endeavor to achieve justice. Joey, you may think that “as of yet [justice is] very far from being served”, but oh how wrong you can be.

Langlois was notified of the little ploys (I seriously think the school spam filters blocked me), and he assured me that my input is very much appreciated. He will relay the information to Setterlund and Mitchell, but he wants to directly link the image files I have, so he asked me for permission. I responded that as long as he can assure I don’t get death threats or hate mail from Kent (or his paid associates) I don’t mind. See, it took a month and the school hasn’t responded to me. Professor Langlois took less than a day to respond.

Justice is served!

A month is a long enough wait.

Yes. Reacting violently and irrationally when caught in one’s acts is inexplicably more perverse.

Several times in the past I have blogged about cheating and what I have observed regarding it, accusing it of being the worst case of perversion. But those I’ve discussed before have been largely unprosecuted, and even if they were, their responses would have been disappointment at themselves and perhaps even remorse–nothing too radical.

But I have been wrong; there are things worse–much worse–than simply cheating. Cheating really is just compromising the cheater himself (unless grades were curved, of course), but acting on impulse to react to an unjustified sense of indignation causes harm to innocent victims, sometimes even unintended.

While cutting metal in H5A (the robotics mini-room) today, I learned that Mr Nguyen’s car was trashed today, and seemingly as a second-thought, so was Mr Bowen’s van. After a bit of questioning around regarding the cause of this mishap, I found out that earlier, one (or more?) of Mr N’s sophomores was (or were?) punished for cheating. And Bowen gave Hal (per 2) a zero for “cheating” on his unit test–I’m guessing to set an example because Bowen told us (per 4) exactly that. Yet I don’t think there was any connection. As Mr N surmised, the damage on Bowen’s van was probably an afterthought to perhaps direct attention away from his original intent.

This form of retaliation is just low–very low. His punishments were probably not unfounded, considering this act perfectly shows his unstable character. But if he really were just misjudged, he should have written a formal letter of complaint, explaining the situation and arguing his defense. I would have if I were in his position and misjudged.

I have nothing more to say about this. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

P.S. Yes. I realize I say “He” when I don’t know the sex of the offender, but that’s because the noticeable cheaters I’ve known have been mostly guys. Statistically this is more accurate.
