The entitled California parents suing schools to overturn their kids’ bad grades

Palo Alto Unified School District is facing two legal challenges from parents over how their children were assessed at school. One parent is asking a judge to remove critical comments from her son’s report card, while another parent’s federal lawsuit over an AI-detection flag and a low essay grade was dropped in September.

Weiwei Luo says three comments about her son’s responses to peers, listening and cooperation were inaccurate; the district says they were substantiated, and its school board rejected her appeal in a 4-0 vote. Luo is also challenging her attorney’s exclusion from the virtual hearing and is seeking legal fees. In the separate case, Takashi Kato said Turnitin marked his son’s essay on *The Crucible* as 76% AI-generated; the student was told to rewrite it and received 65 out of 100. Kato filed a 1,162-page evidence packet and alleged discrimination and due-process violations, claims the supplied article does not say were proven.
