What is the name of your state? Ohio
Let me give a little background. I am chinese and I am currently in high school. I live in a small town and my family is the only chinese family in teh area and I am teh only chinese student.
Recently I was accused of forging a test paper for one of my classes in High school. The reason the school believed that I forged the test was because the first page looked alot different than the otther student's tests ( ex. the font and some math symbols)
However, the thing was that test already had a grade on it and that grade was the same on the test as it is on the computer! That is why I argued that since teh grades were the same, both on teh test and on the teacher's records then that means I didn't forge teh test.
What I sense to be unfair is that I was suspended for 10 days. Becuase that was considered cheating and in any past cases, if anyone cheated, they were given a warning, or a detention or at the very most a saturday school. I believe that becuase I am chinese, I was given an harder punishment and a unjustifyed one at that.
I appealled to the school board but teh decision was upheld. What should I do?
