The students probably told the teacher.
If I was in school these days, I'd make a point of telling the teacher that I listened to the book, instead of reading it. I was a rebellious monkey in high school. If audiobooks were readily available back in the 60's, I would've gone that route. I even turned in book reports based on Classics Illustrated comics.
I hated assigned reading because most of it was literature I didn't care for; like Hemingway, Maugham, Joyce, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Lawrence, Buck, Wilder, James, Mailer, etc.
