So DH emails BM a copy of SD12's current grades (since she has switched schools) that we copy/pasted from Edline while we're waiting for official copy of 3rd 9 weeks report card. BM has been texting DH wanting to know how SD12 is doing, but refuses to talk to SD12 until after May 1st (see previous blog for her reasoning behind this).

BM emails back with, "Those probably aren't even her real grades. Your wife probably bribed the teachers she works with to give her those grades. There is no way she went from all D's and F's to all A's and B's"

I mean really? Am I going to put my job on the line to "bribe" other teachers in my building to "give" SD12 grades? I don't think so. Yes, I am the step-parent, but I also have teachers' values and believe that students should earn their grades.

She just can't face that SD12 needed to be living with DH and I all along and maybe she wouldn't have been failing in the first place....
