School love students who are honest and tell it like it is. I work at a University and I can vouch for that. Some kids are so fake that you can not believe it. We have gotten to the point where we see right through that. Ever wonder why a straight "A" student with 4 leadership and other things and get turned down…..FAKINESS. You raised your children who raised your grandchildren right. You should be so proud. What a great Grandparent you are.
