Questionable Teachings

Okay, I'm genuinely scared about my accounting assignment.

So, I recently had a piece of accounting work which we had to do detailing the ABC Learning Centres collapse, possible causes of it, and ways that it could have been avoided (Considering how the company itself couldn't avoid it, seems kinda like an unrealistic task for a year 11 to complete), and i was told i was going to fail because she hadn't seen the work the previous friday (she was too busy looking at other peoples) to know if it was mine or not.

But thats beside the point, that's just one of the things that's pissing me off right now, the main problem (and reason for the title) is the current accounting assignment (which i got today, the day after I'd just handed up the other assignment, a bit sudden don't you think). Now I'm going to quote word for word the instructions for this assignment, and just try and tell me this doesn't sound the teeniest bit suspicious/illegalish to you (When i say illegal, i mean in terms of commiting an illegal act, not the actual thing I'm doing being illegal)

"You are to go to Bunnings (A store that sells...stuff, jewellery and the like i think, don't know, never been there really) and one other store to examine how they manage their stock, ESPECIALLY regarding stock security from shop stealers.

You should break down your report into the following sections:

a) Draw diagrams of the two stores, showing the layout and clearly showing the customer entry and exit point, along with what security arrangments are in place (eg. Camera's, Security Personal and work shifts, Unlabeled stock security)

b) Analyse the securities strengths and weaknesses."

Anyone else seeing something disturbing sounding about this assignment? We're essentially being asked to find any faults in the companies security. Now if i were working for the company, this would be understandable, since flaws in security would be reported and fixed, but this whole thing sounds suspicious, especially when this question was asked in class.

"Won't it seem suspicious if we're going about the shop looking for security and sketching down the place?"

The teacher's exact response: "Well don't make it obvious that that's what you're doing."

And when asked for further details the teacher got very angry and told everyone to be silent and work (without having given us any work to do).

Apparently this assignment wasn't written by her, but by an earlier teacher, yet it seems very suspicious, I haven't seen the other class getting this assignment.

So what's your opinion on it? (Thanks for reading through all of this by the way)
