An interesting article about a teacher who wrote an essay for his fourth grade class about how badly they behaved and then asked them to complete an assignment: "Make sure you tell me why I need to treat you a certain way," the assignment reads. "I want to make sure that I no longer cheat and act unfairly."
Apparently he was mad because the 4th graders thought he was cheating to help another class win a spelling bee. I think the teacher has to look at what he did to be perceived as a cheater rather than place the blame on students.
