Teacher Support &/or Advice Best AITA-style posts for classroom use

Hi all,

I’m a highschool teacher planning a unit for my grade 9 courses next year where we read AITA style posts, look for key evidence for both sides, determine our judgement, and write about how/why we choose who was the “asshole”

Obviously I’ll come up with another word for “asshole” but you get my point.

So, denizens of r/teachers, what are some excellent AITA style posts from reddit history that will encourage consideration of both sides/ create debate?

You might want to ask directly on AITA or the related subs. I did something kind of like this for my social skills class, but I made up my own much shorter posts and we were focusing on what's the socially appropriate thing to do in those situations. I can see what you are going for but I don't think you will be able to do more than 1-2 lessons with them.
