One mother was asked to hand over her ninth grader’s old assessments to a younger student.
She worried that sharing them would reward shortcuts instead of the hard work her own son put in.
Read on for the full breakdown.
AITA for not sharing my kids tests?
My son is in 9th grade, and my friend’s daughter is in 8th grade.
Last week, she asked me to give her my son’s 9th grade tests and assessments.
I’m disappointed and I don’t know how to tell her the answer is no.
This woman’s son has excellent grades, while her friend’s daughter is more a a B-grade student.
My son has excellent grades, but it is the result of his efforts.
Her daughter is not having any difficulties in class.
We live in France and her average is around 15/20.
Kind of like a B grade.
She thinks it’s not fair to lend her son’s test papers to her friend’s daughter.
I believe her daughter should study like all the other classmates.
It’s not fair to my son or any other student who studies and works hard.
