OCOTLAN, MEXICO — A high school teacher has been suspended for his innovative way of getting his high school students to stop cheating during exams—he put cardboard boxes over their heads. <br />The Excelsior reported that teacher Luis Juarez Texis came up with the bright idea for his Ethics and Values class at the Bachilleres 01 El Sabinal School in Ocotlán. <br />Apparently, the students had all consented to the exercise before the test. Each box had two holes for the students to look out of, but their peripheral vision was totally blocked. <br />Unfortunately, after a photo of the boxes in action went viral over social media, some parents got hopping mad, calling the cardboard humiliating and violent. Violent?<br />After the backlash from parents, the school released a statement explaining that is was a "dynamic exercise" to help "the students' psychomotor development." <br />What the school should have just said is that your kids are cheating too much. <br />Comments over social media run the gamut from complete shock and horror, to total approval of the teacher's methods. <br />It's unclear if the box incident is being investigated any further. <br />Hey, sometimes in order to think out of the box, you have to get into the box.
