You can't? You must have gone to a really special school then, in the
highschool I went to there were no lack of teachers stupid, arrogant,
or just plain ignorant enough to have done something like that.

Of course, actually testing that the program worked would be too much
trouble, so the projects would be graded based on who used the best
quality paper to print their source code on, and on whether the
variable names were correctly spelled words.
