SMALL ETHICS (PART A)

There's an award at this school for students who have achieved perfect attendance. I know one student who is three tardies away from getting that award. I had him in my class almost 2 years ago. He emailed me recently asking me if I'd remove those tardies. He admits he was late those days, he just wants it changed.

He's obviously an accomplished student. He got an A in my class and he has a 4.0 GPA. When I responded I asked, "Do you think it's ethical for me to say you had perfect attendance, when in fact, it wasn't? Are you asking me to lie for you?"

I have not yet heard back.
