Last week Advanced Placement Macroeconomics students were shocked when two copies of the supply and demand test were stolen during Integrity Week.

Two copies of the test were stolen the day before the test. Substitute teacher, Mr. Cupo, noticed that test number one was missing when he went to give out the test on Friday morning. Cupo remarked that it was pretty evident the test was stolen when the first test was not marked number one.

It is disputed how the second test was stolen. An anonymous student believed the test was stolen at the same time of the first test. However, Cupo noticed that the second test was stolen only after zero period had taken their test.

AP Economics students will now have to pay the consequences for the actions of a few. Ms. Sandoval said that students may have less privledges in their mock economy projects, in which students earn “money” for various class grades such as tests and homework. Senior Julien Crockett said, “Ms. Sandoval seemed pretty angry and dissapointed.”

According to Sandoval she has discovered who the primary culprits are, however, she will not release the identity of these students. Thus the perpetrator has remained largely unknown to the majority of the student body. Rumors have been spreading, but it is impossible for students to ever know eactly who did it.

Sandoval’s students erupted into a furious cacophony of yells when she announced that because of the theft students would have to retake the test the following Tuesday. They were exceptionally angry because the test on Friday had been open book and many students did very well. Some students were more exaccerbated than others, Paul Zubatov said, “Seriously who would take the test? I mean it was open book!”

AP Economics students were relieved when an email from Sandoval said, that, “After much thought about the equity of tomorrow’s retake, I am going to allow you to use your book for the test as you did with the test on Friday.”
