Weekly online quizzes count for internal marks, and the answers reach the class group in minutes

My daughter's school has started a weekly online quiz in class 8 that counts towards internal assessment. It opens on Friday evening and stays open till Sunday. By Friday night someone has usually posted the answers in the class group. My daughter refuses to look, which I'm proud of, but she's getting 14 or 15 out of 20 while most of her friends get full marks. She's started saying she's the only fool doing it properly. Do I raise this with the school? I don't want her known as the one who complained, and I have no idea whether the teachers already know.

    Then the quiz is measuring who's in the group, not who knows the material. Yes, raise it. You don't need names or screenshots, just tell the class teacher the answers are circulating. They'll change the timing or stop counting it. Her 14 out of 20 is the only real number in that class.

      The trouble with 'no names' is that the teacher will ask how you know, and the only honest answer is your daughter. Even if nobody says it aloud, the class may work it out. I'm not saying don't raise it. It might just land better coming from several parents, or from her quietly telling the teacher herself, than from one parent alone.
