“The last straw was the recent project where she gave a presentation that accounted for a good portion of her grade.”
When she realized how ridiculously Miss Jane was grading Sarah, she returned to the school administration to report it. It took a lot of back and forth with them to get Sarah’s grades back up to where they deserved to be and have her transferred out of Miss Jane’s class.
While she hoped that would be the end of the situation, her family became wrapped up in it, thanks to her 19-year-old niece, Chloe.
Chloe had heard about Sarah’s school situation and decided to misconstrue it as a big, dramatic story she told their other relatives about at a family gathering.
She overheard Chloe call her a ‘Karen’ for throwing a ‘tantrum’ at the school so she and Sarah could get their way. Once she heard Chloe exaggerating a story that caused Sarah a lot of stress, she knew she had to say something.
“I told her she [must be] bored or insecure about herself, and that’s why she needs to make up drama all the time, [and] I am done with it,” she recalled.
“I’ve bitten my tongue before, but I’ve wanted to say that to Chloe for a while now. Chloe apologized and was silent for the rest of the event.”
Her sister, May, who’s Chloe’s mom, later called her and told her she was wrong to speak to Chloe that way. She excused Chloe’s behavior as typical of a typical teenager and said there was no need to embarrass her.
Was she wrong to go off on Chloe like that, or was it understandable?
