Questions: Education & Career

Okay I understand some people (or maybe a lot lol) won't understand what the term "sneak read" means.

Basically, when I was in my computer science class in secondary school, and I'd finished the work early and had my book on me- I'd put the book under the desk and make it look like I'm just staring at the floor but really I'd be reading, or as I like to call it- sneak reading😂😂I'd do the same in Maths too- and in English a couple of times😂

It was like this:

Me: *sneak reads*

In computer science, the teacher caught me once and just let me carry on- either before when I did it, he never noticed or saw but let me get on with it because I was a good student. xD

In Maths and English:

Me: *sneak reads*

My best friend: *sniggers*

Me: "Tell me when the teacher might notice me."

Her: "Okay. Nerd. SnEaK rEaDing😂😂"

Me: "Shhhhh..."

Her: "We're acting like this is such a bad crime, but in reality it's so innocent if you think about it."

Me: "I still shouldn't be doing this. I'm a rebel if you think about it😂"

Her: "You're a nerd."

Me: 🙄🙄🙄 (But knows she's right😂)

...

What about you?

I'm a GA (Graduate Assistant) at a University. I have been offered things (money, drugs, sexual favors, goods, etc) in exchange for direct help with changing or lobbying the professor to otherwise increase their class grade. It's an uncomfortable situation for me to be in and wondered how often this happens? This is open for anonymous responses.

Ethical standards require me to even turn down coffee or anything a student may offer me while tutoring or doing 'Supplemental Instruction' for fear of showing any favouritism.
