SCENARIO 2.

You recently found out that the child of a close relative has been enrolled at the school, although the child was not assigned to your class.This relative of yours has been generous enough to let you stay in one of the apartments they own. You offered to pay rent, but they refused.At a family gathering, this relative approached and asked you if their child could be re-assigned to your class so their child could be given extra care and assistance and be prioritised over the other children in your class. They also mentioned that they hadn't asked you for anything in exchange for your stay at their apartment, and this is the only favour they are asking from you.
