QUESTION: One of the members of the classroom was collecting our reports that had come due. My friend placed her report in the middle of the collected stack. She had neglected to complete her report and she later admitted to me that the report that she placed in the middle of the stack was really just a single page that contained a few lines of the report’s conclusion that she had labeled as, “Page 2”. Her intent was to fool the teacher into thinking that during the report collection process, “Page 1” got lost in the shuffle and that the teacher would not have the heart to force her to redo the first page. What does the Halacha say about such a practice?...
