I don’t know if chronic lying would be classified as a behavior issue, but it’s important for a teacher to know. For example, the first time I caught her cheating, and she swore that she didn’t cheat, I figured I had just been seeing things. It took until the third time that I knew for certain that I had not been seeing things, and had seen her cheat. She’s an excellent liar, and it’s hard not to trust her. A few days into school, someone else who worked in the school that was never her teacher warned me that she’s a chronic liar, but I didn’t believe her. Would I have believed it if a teacher had told me? I don’t know. Probably not. But the first time I saw her cheat I probably would have trusted my eyes.
