GREATEST MOTHER.....EVER!

Back when we were teens, all of our parents wanted us to do well in school, right? They persistently stayed on us to do our homework and study for tests, but how many of them would actually dress up like you to take your test for you? Better yet, how many would actually be able to look young enough to pass as you to take your test? Well, one French mother felt that she could pull it off. You see, in France, right now if you're a high school senior, it's the time of the year when secondary school students take the stressful Baccalaureat exam to qualify for college. I guess you can say that it's equivalent to our SAT exams. Well, one French mother tried to ensure her daughter's college entry by actually subbing in for her and taking the test for her! That's right! Best Mother ever!

 According to a few reports, the 52-year-old woman was dressed in Converse baseball boots, jeans and a lot of makeup when she boldly walked into the Paris testing site to take her 19-year-old daughter's three-hour English composition exam, but an eagle-eyed professor, who had seen the actual teen taking a philosophy exam two days before, spotted the disguised mom. Instead of calling her out and disrupting other candidates, however, the teachers actually let the woman finish the three-hour exam. 

The disguised mom, known as Caroline D, was confronted by police as she was leaving the hall and taken into custody and charged with fraud. Apparently, she finally admitted to the cheating in a bid to boost her daughter's score. The penalties against the mother are unknown at this point, but the daughter faces being banned from taking official exams for the next five years. That absolutely sucks!

Okay, here's my take on this whole situation. Did they do something wrong? Yes, but seriously, how did the "52-year-old" mother honestly think that she can pass for a 19-year-old. If she really thought that she could, then she must be smoking hot and must look really young! As for the authorities, I wouldn't have arrested her. I might've laughed in her face for thinking she can fool the school system, but I do think that the girl's punishment is fair. If she was smart enough, she wouldn't have let her mother go through the charade. Five years of not having an opportunity to go to a University is a fair punishment. Then again, she can always come to the U.S. and go to a community school for a few years and then go back and take the tests again. Either way, this whole ordeal proves that the mother really loves her daughter enough to take risks. It might have been a dumb risk, but a risk nonetheless, which makes her the greatest mother ever!
