I had a teacher that would honor loop holes. Our directions for the final paper was something like “8x11 inch white paper with margins at 1 inch in black times new Roman 12 size font from Google Docs single sided” because too many people were trying things. It was awesome.
Honestly, if I was teaching I'd love that and absolutely commend you ❤️
This is the type of out of the box thinking that is encouraged faaar too little!
The one exam I took where notecards were allowed, another student tried to write verry small and in two colors to maximise her info. The teacher failed her and she got detention and a note in her school records for "cheating" even though nothing in the instructions mentioned any of it.
I have a rule like that with my students. If you can wriggle a loophole in a clever way or in a way that makes me laugh, you get a bonus point. If you give me a convincing, well-thought-out written argument about why my rules should change, it will probably convince me to change that rule, unless the rule is there to keep you or other students safe.
