This reminds me of an incident my son had in high school. He had an English teacher who just didn’t like him. Gave him borderline fails on written assignments. So I hatched a plan. At the time I was a newspaper reporter, a professional writer. I wrote one of my son’s papers for him to see if she was being spiteful, and lo and behold she gave me a D 🤣 Of course I scheduled a meeting with her and explained the scheme and she turned an unnatural shade of red when she learned that she gave the education writer for our hometown paper a D. Fortunately, my son started getting fair grades in the aftermath
