The Moo may have shared her login info with her kid (I don't know why she did this), but it sounds like the daughter is the one who abused this access and not so much her mother. I definitely fault the Moo for giving her kid access to those records, but I fault the kid even more for abusing it to not only give herself enough votes to win homecoming, but also to look at the private information of other students and then share it publicly with her friends. I sure hope it was worth expulsion and getting arrested to wear a fucking crown and a pretty dress for a few minutes.

The article stated that the mother got notified every time her account logged in, so she knew every time the daughter was messing around in the files. If she didn't know exactly what was going on, at the very least she knew her daughter was accessing information she shouldn't, and with her mother's name attached.

It makes me wonder why she even gave her daughter permission to use her login info in the first place.

Still, there is no reason a student needs administrative access to school records and they both deserved what they got - the girl for abusing her mother's access to the school's system and the mother for knowingly allowing it to happen.

I'm just going to say everyone sucks here. Daughter, of course, for trying to cheat her way through life, and moo for enabling it. But what I hate most about this story is that we all pay taxes towards schooling. I'm in favor of an educated populace, but what the fuck does this outdated bullshit have to do with education? Schools should not be in the business of sanctioning the social hierarchy that already exists into a competition, propping up one inflated ego, and making a bunch of other people feel inferior (because they aren't popular, don't fit some here-normaitve narrative from the 1950s, aren't what's considered beautiful, etc). The purpose of schools is to educate, and activities like this are detrimental to that goal.

Imagine if they replaced beauty/popularity contests with mini-classes on personal finance and basic practical home economics: how to do basic electrical work, cook, meal planning, house and yard maintenance, fix a toilet, etc. Stuff that literally any human being may find practical. And if the kids learn anything, they win and will benefit from this knowledge for many years. Instead of being 1% winning based on criteria most could never achieve, anyone who puts in the effort wins.

That would be good, try to teach something they'd actually use. The other thing American schools need to stop doing is putting illiterates on a pedestal because they can run touchdowns or sink baskets!

A friend of mine in college was one of the many tutors for athletes. ONE athlete could read well. That was it. I wanted to tutor too but the competition for the jobs (any job, not just this one) was so intense it require a 4.0 GPA to be considered, despite the fact the athletes could barely read.
I went to one of those schools where sports is all important. A large percentage of the athletes would have had a difficult time doing any job, even a low skill minimum wage one. There were a small amount of athletes that weren't tutored who did fine academically.

A friend of my sister's in college had a job tutoring athletes in math and he told similar stories, including one college athlete who didn't even know his times tables, something I learned in elementary school!

It was a case of undiagnosed dyscalculia for me that caused this problem, so this isn't entirely a surprise. I failed the entry exam for algebra which called for long addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and the teacher, after hearing me mention something about business math that I was taking next door, asked me what grade I got in there. I said "A" and explained that I was allowed to use a calculator and that's why the grade was so high. He made contact with my school counselor telling him there was something organically wrong with my brain which disallowed me to do basic math yet allowed me to ace Business Math. I also can't spell worth a shit, and it seems there are several zigs where the brain should zag.
