Why is my government teacher so generous on my part?

He clearly wants to fuck you.

Or he doesn’t.. go with whatever makes you happy.

lol… I’m a guy…

Maybe he doesn’t want to spend time correcting assignments and gave a bunch of students a grade without checking the assignment properly. Teachers are people too.

Maybe because he knows you’re a good student and have proven your competence in the past so he has let a few little things slide. Something he might not do for the poorer students that need to ramp up their game.

He is testing your honesty – he wants to see if (a) you will be honest and report it to him, or (b) you will start doing what you are supposed to do.

In effect, he is seeing whether you have an upstanding character.

My suggestion would be NOT to mention it to him, but to do the proper work, and see if that evokes a comment.

Perhaps you should ask him. It doesn’t really help you to get perfect marks for work that was either incomplete or wrong and it doesn’t teach you good time management skills if you’re allowed to get away with submitting work late. It’s also not fair to your peers if you are given preferential treatment.

One way or another this is favouritism. The only fair way I can think of that resulted in this situation is that all the questions were assigned specific score, the harder the question the higher the score, and that there are surpluses in questions with scores can that can exceed maximum amount of defined score, which means you don’t need to answer everything and all scores from questions can accumulate. Or because he believe that you did not cheat while the majority of students were deemed cheating, giving you bad scores will just support the act of cheating.
