This story was originally printed Oct. 7, 2026, in the Daily Post. BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer A mother has sued the Palo Alto Unified School District over her son’s third grade report card that said he needs to work on respecting other students. Mother Weiwei Luo said the comments on her son’s report card were based on a game of tag at recess, when her son stuck his tongue out another student who kicked him at Walter Hays Elementary School in October 2025. Teacher Holly Harrison said Luo’s son is “working on his responses to peers when he is frustrated or upset,” according to the lawsuit filed on Monday. “He is developing his ability to listen to others’ perspectives and collaborate with humility. We will keep working on this!” Harrison wrote on the report card. Luo asked the district to change the report card on June 25. The district denied the challenge, so Luo appealed to the board and had a hearing on Aug. 18.
