"If you ain't cheating you ain't trying."

My high school football coach used to say "It's only cheating if you get caught."  He later became an assistant superintendent for one of the largest public school districts in the SF Bay Area.  Perhaps not the message you want to send to students.

My goodness. What a great role model.

It gets better.  He was well known for having different sets of rules for different types of students, clearly favoring football players over other students.  He had interpersonal issues with teachers and administrators as well.  My sister (Stanford PhD) worked with him for a time as did a close family friend who taught AP English in the district.  His last name is quite similar to that of a Star Wars villain, so naturally, his nickname became that of said villain among the other teachers and administrators in the district.
