It’s hard to imagine a school would want to weather the volcanic eruption of justified parent anger from a teacher failing the entire class, when obviously the entire class didn’t cheat.
In could be said, that ultimately the responsibility is at least half way his for being careless with the answer sheet.
To be fair, this is algebra we’re talking about. People who passed might have cheated while those who failed didn’t but only cuz it’s really confusing.
Mr. Hazelhorst just has to look at the question 5 answers to determine who had the answers on version one so why the threats? Just to put some peer pressure on the cheaters to come forward?
Premise still makes no sense. No one throws out an answer key a week before giving the quiz. Response makes no sense. If a person got the correct answer for question #5 it means they really did the work – why threaten to punish the innocent?
This looks like a moral dilemma arc for Heart. Even though she didn’t use it, she has the answers written on her hand. Hazelhorst will likely see it, and accuse her of cheating, or knowing who did. This the dilemma. Does she keep silent, and get an unfair punishment? Or does she talk, and lose the trust of her classmates?

Now we are in the classic prisoner dilemma. To squeal or not to squeal.

This type of punishment by teachers should result in instant termination of their teaching contract.

Collective punishment is wrong. You hear that, Israel?
Anyway, no snitchin’.

There’s no way collective punishment would be tolerated in the modern US school system. The threat of lawsuits would quash any thought of that.

Invalidate the entire test and give a new one.

The teacher can’t fail the entire class, some took the exam honestly and it’s not fair to them, their parents would complain (as a parent I would).
