Question:

Can a teacher use manipulative lies to get a pupil to confess is that moral?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No form of selfish manipulation is moral. However, morality is "in the eye of the beholder." You teacher may think that he/she is using this manipulative power for an outcome that will benefit you both. In that case, the teacher will probably believe his/her actions to be moral.
