I have a dilemma here and I need some advice quick. Last night when I got home from work, my wife and my son were sitting at the kitchen table - my son was finishing up his trigonometry project. My wife said that my son had been working on it for three hours straight and he was very proud - did a bunch of graphs using different color magic markers, etc. As I walked over to look at his nearly-completed project, imagine my horror when I saw the he had used 4 sheets of my papervar!
Now, I normally would come clean with my wife (she knows I use) and make my son do it over on regular graph paper but the pride I saw in his eyes was just so overwhelming - I know it would break his heart so I said nothing other than how proud I was of him.
The problem is this -- his math teacher is a pretty jacked guy and I know he works at this local hard-core gym so I am pretty sure he will know what the stuff is. I am afraid that my son won't get his project back. So, do I let my son turn in this project? Also, assuming he does turn it in and assuming he does get it back from the teacher (a long shot, I know), is it OK to take it even though it has magic marker all over it?
Thanks so much for the input!
