She just wanted clarification, transparency and how things were done.
Last week, my brother and his daughter came over and had a "secret discussion". Telling his daughter not to tell her mom about what had happened in her school.
My sister-in-law was quite busy as the school year is nearing its end.
But the "secret" have come out.
According to my sister-in-law, she noticed her daughter crying most of the time. So she asked.
The "secret" was with her honor as a graduating in their school.
My niece won't be the class valedictorian.
With that, she went to her school yesterday, despite the words my brother told her.
What she just did is to know how things were done, computed--my niece's academic grades and her extra curricular.
But my sister-in-law didn't go there without anything. She brought a guidelines of how grades are being computed. By the way she works as a.nurse in the education department or as a school nurse.
What my sister-in-law found out was, my niece is the top of the graduating class. Not just a point something difference after the "right" computation, but it was more than 5 points.
She even questioned about no deliveration among parents and students. For transparency.
My niece maybe a victim of favoritism if my sister in law hasn't decided to asked the school. And fight for my niece's right.
Sad that, favoritism happens. It has been on the system ever since. That will have a great impact on my niece if ever. It will be her self esteem.

I am sorry that your niece has suffered from the effects of favoritism. Having had this happen to my own children I know the heartache of having them deal with it and you not being able to do anything to fix it.

Good thing they have fight for what is truly due to your niece. There are really instances like that. On the other hand, congratulations to her for graduating with honors.
My nephew will also graduate as valedictorian. We never came across with that kind of issue, thank God.

Sad to know that favoritism still exist, my second son was once the victim where he was the top since his first year up to fourth year 3rd grading and when final exam he is still the number one, when honor rolls was announce, he was the salutatorian and I asked and brought some proof of it, one faculty did something wrong in his computation of his grade and there, the result, he became the valedictorian, at least I made my best and fight for his honor. In every school, favoritism really exist. I'm sad for your niece. Just tell her that, there's still high school to fight for and the truth will prevail next time.

It's a shame when things like that are allowed to happen. I've always said that before one is allowed to work as a teacher or administrator in a school, they should be tested for their ability to relate to and care about children.
