Dear Reddit, what is the cruelest punishment a teacher has ever given you? Why were you in trouble in the first place?

I was in seventh grade. I did great in all the other subjects but in Maths I was weak. I'd get B or sometimes a A, but it was rarely the case. I had my mid terms, and they were crucial to pass as it was the key to next class otherwise I would get demoted and go to sixth grade. My all other papers went extraordinarily great. And then the Maths paper came.. it was on Monday so I had the weekend to prepare. I learnt all the concepts but as usual I could learn the equations. I came up with a brilliant idea. I ordered a wrist watch from daraz (a online store in my country). It was a cheap watch which had a news paper like background. It was express delivery so it arrived the next day. I took my printer, printed the equations in really tiny font and replaced the original watch background with my equations. It turned out great. I felt like the most creative person ever. The day of my exam, I wore the watch and went to school. We got our papers handed over and I was super anxious. After going through the paper I began to take help from my watch. My examiner noticed and she asked me of it was a smart watch. I said no and then went on checking the watch again and again for answers. The examiner thought I was lying so she came over to my desk and said me to show the watch. I just showed it from the front and she realised it was a analog watch but she said to give it to me. I said that I was looking my time management but she insisted. When I gave her the watch she immediately saw the equations. I was in trouble. She grabbed me by my arm and took me to principles office. My parents were called. I got suspended for 3 weeks. My marks in all subjects were set back by 15%. Though I went to eighth grade, it's a expirence I will never forget..
