As someone who also teaches programming to college students, this is one of the most glorious things I’ve ever read.

Though, anyone know what “hes so Canadian” means? I assume it means he is Canadian, hence why he seems to be taking this so calmly and not flipping out, but I’m not sure.

Edit: I’m now reading the comments. The amount of people trying to justify lying and cheating is truly disheartening.



I think "Canadian" here stands for the stereotype of Canadians as overly nice, apologetic, etc. (and that the author is in fact Canadian though he teaches in America)


“He’s so Canadian” likely refers to the stereotype that Canadian people tend to be very nice and apologize a lot

Edit: didn’t see the other reply, but it’s pretty much the same idea
