Hey this is OP, I made an account to comment and shed a little light on the situation. Yes, I go to public school, and yes we have to pay fines for damaged or missing books. The thing is, the back cover was only barely hanging on and it snapped off while I was taking it out of my bag. I put down in the original FML that it came off due to being worn.

You could rip off the front cover and glue it on upside down. It'll match the back and the book will look fine.
Wouldn't everything inside be upside down then
#18 Let's just rip out the insides and flip them upside down as well.
Well, I guess that's one moment where the classic "pretending to read, but the book ends up upside down" can actually work in your favor... At least, halfway...
Just tell the teacher not to judge your book by its cover.

It just ripped off? You sure you didn't rip off the cover in frustration?

She could have been holding it by the back cover page or something, but even then it had to have been pretty worn to tear off.

Since OP doesn't want their teacher to know, I'm guessing the textbooks are classroom sets that the students borrow, and only pay for if they lose or damage it. The textbooks in my school have been around since the 70s, it's possible that OP's book is old and the cover easily ripped off due to something small like picking it up by the cover, or dropping it at an odd angle
Hopefully the teacher wont notice.,Since it's only the back cover and not the actual text part I'm sure that it'll be ok. I remember checking out class books before with some pretty elaborate and disgusting doodles before.
at least it's less obvious than if the cover weren't there at all?
Better the cover than one of the pages i guess
Idiot
The only way you can glue a cover upside down is by gluing the side that wasn't ripped. You literally can't glue it wrong way up otherwise so YDI.
Very true.. This guy is a lier

Blame it on a manufacturing error.
