She wasn't even smart enough to have SS9 re-write it in his own handwriting. DH is beyond mad mainly because she is teaching him that it is okay to lie and cheat. What would/did you do in this situation?

DH found the graded paper in SS9's folder yesterday, I saw it to but waited for DH to handle it. SS9's hand writing is awful and almost unreadable but this was nice and neatly written. He asked SS9 who wrote it and added that he knew it wasn't him. SS9 hesitated to answer kept saying "m". When we finally got the truth out of him it went like this.

Last week SS9 had minor outpatient surgery and had to have all his work for the week in by Wednesday. He claimed that he was having a melt down over the amount of homework due (and maybe some stress about the surgery) so BM did some of it for him. DH asked if he at least helped, nope he didn't help at all he was working on his other math homework. BM just did it and he turned it in. We had to explain the purpose of homework and why her doing it for him is not effective, in addition to being immoral. DH let SS9 know that he was mad at both of them, BM was just as guilty.

Here is how we handled it. We took the assignment and wrote on it that it was not his work, made him re-do it all by himself and write an apology letter to his teacher all of which is is to take to his teacher today.

DH is going to confront BM about it with SS9 present on Sunday when we make the switch. I can't want to see what possible reason she can come up with for it being 'ok' to let you child cheat on his homework. it would have been better to just have him turn it in late or not at all (and get the bad grade).

We also let SS9 know that he did the right thing by telling us the truth because honestly we pretty much already knew what happened and to lie would have gotten him in even more trouble.
