Vindication!!!

I just got an email from the student whose mother was so nasty and from the student's email, I don't think she knew what her mother had done. In the student's email, the student admitted she couldn't find the paper she said I never recorded and she couldn't actually remember doing the paper, so she was going to have to take the lower grade, and I mean pretty low, as in near failing. I was touched. I thought her admission took guts, so I thanked her for her honesty and said I would bump her grade up one full grade because she had admitted her mistake. I wonder if she'll tell her mother.
