Not to mention there'd be at least a few students too timid to challenge the teacher, even if they knew they got it right.

  That's a valid and useful lesson, especially for the shy students. Arguably, it's probably more important than whatever the question on the test was. The world at large rarely accommodates shy people. Coping skills are essential, even if they are unpleasant.

    Except they did not learned to not be shy. There was no such lesson. This is like saying that stealing from a student is ok, because it is teaching them thieves exist. They learned that cheating gives advantage to the cheating individual. They also learned that reporting cheating harms them and non cheaters.

    Only if she advertised it somehow. The dick version is, of course, to tell the class that “you know, until now, if you had come in to challenge your grade I would have let you fix it. Too late now!”
