School Hacker Faces Prison!

One morning, Kevin Lehman, a teacher at Greenwood High School in Texas, was grading his students’ math homework. He had started to enter the grades on the school database when he noticed something mysterious. He was by nature a careful person, so he checked all the grades again. According to the computer, one of his students, 18-year-old Dan Sinclair, had got the top grade in the last six maths tests. The problem was Lehman knew that he hadn’t. The boy’s grades had always been dreadful. So, who had changed the scores on the computer?

Lehman went to see Principal Sarah Lowe and explained the situation. Miss Lowe immediately called Dan to her office. Dan was unhelpful and said that he hadn’t done anything to the database. So, the Principal called the police. The police found copies of some final exams with all the answers in Dan’s desk. When they questioned Dan, he realised he was in a dangerous position and it was better to be truthful. He admitted that he had hacked into the school computer because he wanted to study law and he needed good maths grades. The police charged Dan with hacking and theft. If they find him guilty, Dan could go to prison for 40 years.

A Good Job

In the past when married couples had problems they usually split up or continued to live together in an unhappy relationship. These days, couples, married or not, can get advice on their problems from many sources. A lot of them come to me.

I’m a counsellor and I’m trained to listen to couples with problems. Then I try to advise them on the best way forward. One of my main tasks is to get people to talk - to each other and to me. Often a relationship has problems because people keep all their feelings inside. If we talk about things, we can often find an answer.

It’s also important to realise that we’re not all perfect. We all make mistakes. But we need to say sorry and talk about how we can prevent these mistakes from happening again. This can make a relationship stronger.

I don’t always succeed in helping people to stay together. Sometimes it’s better for the couple to split up and start new lives apart. But it helps everyone if the break-up can be friendly, especially for any children involved.

I love my job. I meet all sorts of people and it’s generally very rewarding.

1. In the old times, couples chose to live together in an unhappy relationship instead of divorce. ____

2. Only married couples come to a counsellor. ____

3. One important thing in a good relationship is sharing our feelings. ____

4. Couples break up because they are not perfect. ____

5. Sometimes the break-up can help couples lead a better life. ____
