I tend to doubt that the football player did the assignment. He probably got someone else to do the work and he's blowing off class.

I side with the teacher. She may not be able to prove the cheating on the paper, but she can take off points for sleeping in class.

But I have had no experience with high schools. Perhaps he is bright and it's a very boring class. But I tend to doubt it.

Why? Because he fell asleep in class he must be a dumb jock who cheats? Sheesh.

Then the teacher should have raised suspicion of cheating in his defense. Otherwise, you're fabricating issues to justify your prejudices.

Why? High school football teams are huge and filled with students from all academic abilities.

I have a feeling that this teacher shares your prejudices against people that are not nerdy and social retards. It is doubtful that he would have punished a audio/visual club member if they fell asleep in class but aced the assignment.

It's not like most high school classes are that hard. I rarely paid any attention in high school classes either since the teachers didn't know anything about the subjects. I just read the textbooks on my own time and aced the assignments.
