School Project Idea
Tomorrow, my school is having a shortage exercise where they will cut off the water supply and distribute ‘rations.’ I thought it would be clever to sell 5 Biscoff biscuits for $2, treating it like a “black market” scenario. This could add a layer of realism to the exercise, as in real life, shortages often lead to black markets with inflated prices. What do you all think?
Should I take the risk and go to school later tomorrow? I apologize for any mistakes; English isn’t my first language. I’m in 11th grade, which is when we get more freedom at my school. For instance, we’re allowed to use phones in the cafeteria and leave early if we don’t have classes during the […]
Am I going to get caught cheating? I excel at writing essays when I’m not under pressure. However, during tests, I tend to stress out and my writing suffers. We’re allowed to bring a small cheat sheet, so my plan is to write my entire essay on the back of it and refer to it […]
Need Advice on Grading Situation I’m a dual-enrolled high school student taking a self-paced online course at a community college. I submitted several assignments late, with my teacher’s approval, but it’s been six weeks and she still hasn’t graded everything.

This is a really creative idea! It definitely adds an interesting twist to the exercise by simulating how people might respond to shortages in real life, including the emergence of black markets. Just make sure to keep it light-hearted and fun, and be aware of any school rules regarding selling items on campus. It might also be a good idea to ensure everyone understands it’s all in good fun and doesn’t create any real issues. Good luck, and enjoy the exercise!
