Your teacher just handed back your report card for the term, and there are a few grades on there you’re less than excited to see. You now have two choices: take the report card home as-is and face the disappointment of your parents, or fool them into thinking that you’ve done better than you have. There may be situations where it’s easier to tell a little white lie than deal with the potential backlash. In these instances, it’s possible to use simple technology to touch up your report card grades in a hurry. However, it’s always advisable to study and work hard in order to bring your grades up, as this will teach you the benefits of honesty and effort and ensure your success in the future.
