Your note about the cheating is interesting.
Years ago, I worked in an American school in Africa (granted, it was the Maghreb, but still) and remember there was 1 semester were I failed 90% of my students during final exams for cheating; I had close to 200 students spread over 6 to 7 classes.
They were blatant with it, too, even when I told them what would happen...looked me in the end and proceeded to share answers. It's funny now thinking about it because, for some, it seemed like they were cheating out of reflex, not because the work was even hard.
When the grades went in, my director called me in during the planning period to explain to me I would have to change some grades to passing because, in this culture, a certain amount of cheating was to be expected. It was funny too because he was American, and I could tell this decision was not more so about morals than it was money...there was potential to fukk up the money here lol.
In the end, he actually let the grades stand though, and a bunch of kids failed. I later found out some of those kids got treatment from their fathers like the young man did in this video; one young man even had to come apologize to me...he told me his father had required him to.
This same young man had to repeat the class, got me again as his teacher, and then, when finals came around again, warned the other students not to take the chance.
Idk how y’all do it, me and pops throwing hands, nobody is slapping me up like that. Deal with any consequences later.
Take out your frustration on your son because you failed as a father. Should have been keeping tabs on him way earlier and if there was any scent of the kid slacking off then he should have been on top of that and gotten him help for his studies.
