Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade ___22___ because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being ___23___ in the future. And every time I tell this story, some people agree with this ___24___.
But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my ___25___ in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to ___6___ an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest ___27___ of his knowledge and it would have been ___28___to other students. How could I ___29___ give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know ___30___ reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like ___31___ too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up ___32___ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is ___33___enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did ___34___ him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have ___35___him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.
