If this actually happened recently, you probably want to talk to your school administrator about this before she does, just to make sure that they get the right facts, and to make sure that they know what’s going on.

There’s an old saying that you should never attribute to malice what stupidity can explain, but the flip side is advanced enough stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

Going to the administrator and mentioning it will help if she goes on the warpath. Because trust me, she’ll show the names in the cups as proof and leave out the whole she wrote them on afterwards part…

I like the corollary to Hanlon's Law that you proposed, but I'd say that sufficient quantity of stupidity, and an demonstrated unwillingness to learn is indistinguishable from malice.
