The teacher stepping out of the room is the real exam. The paper is just the cover story.

Supervision does not make you honest, it makes you observed. Whatever happens the second the door closes is the measurement that means something, because that is the only moment when the choice is fully yours. The paper tests what you studied. The empty room tests what you are.

This week, catch the moment supervision drops: the substitute, the empty office, the chat with no adults in it. Notice the small distance between what you did and what you would have done. Keep that distance boring and short, and you have got the whole thing.
