    Tus, here's an idea: Give the parents a copy of the text book, eh??

    Or, if the test is say 20 questions, give Mother a 100 question test to review with the wee one...

    Guaranteed that parent would probably fail the test. Just had to add that. Tus, You want some of my vodka to use when all the inlaws are here tomorrow? I might have some left, maybe?

    Helllo people/s

    Tusc,
    I understand how you feel.
    My sis-in-law is a teacher and parents call her at all times of the day to get retests or to please accept their kid's assignments which are overdue.

    Some parents even do the kids homework.
    When I was in school, we had to do all our own work and homework -mum reviews it(English especially) for mistakes and we had to rewrite without the mistakes.

    No wonder some kids today when they grow up and get jobs they think it is their right to be paid even if they do no work.

    Principles!principles of school ethics(we should have a book for parents)... ;)

    Man Tus... I had to email Grad's teacher last night... oh how embarrassing. I get a load of crap from him about his teacher... I made him sit here and I sent the message with him knowing what I was saying from his perspective was a lie. I hope his teacher has enough balls to call him on it... like I did last night. Missing assign?? Ooooo, let me tell you!
    Good morning friends.

    Hi all,

    JH I would love some vodka! Although perhaps some Irish Cream for my coffee would be better. Thanks for reminding me... I need to get vodka when I leave here, never got it the other day. And you are probably right the parent would fail.

    Cap- I might have to give her a copy of a 100 question quiz just to watch her head spin!

    FB- Parents doing the child's homework or long term project has gotten more and more accepted. It would have never flown when I was in school. Now I get notes all the time, Jessica could not do her homework because Grey's Anatomy was on last night and it is her favorite show. Crazy stuff like that!

    No freakin way... grady and Jesse, omgosh... they have football right after school, do homework at 8 at night and eat at the same time, then they get to have 30-45 minutes on the puter... no puter in the morning... no fun till work is done...
    OMG... I really need to set some rules for myself don't I... LMAO

    Na start you don't need rules... you have done your time with the school work, now enjoy your adulthood.

    Honestly did anyone see Grey's last night?! I just love TR Knight!

    I was busy at the old house last night... and busy with a bunch of full grown babies in my house... I am going to go buy everyone here a pacifier and a pack of diapers!

    Start, Tus is right. Kids need guidelines while growing up. They will respect you more if you do. They'll learn to prioritize their time.

    So true. Kids need structure and guidance. Those who lack it at home struggle in school.

    shatteredsoul
    I um crushed you with that visual didn't I! LOL WELL sometimes I pout but I don't USUALLY throw tantrums. I just really miss that feeling of being outdoors late at night. THe last time I went camping I was in upstate New York at Letchworth State Park. Absolutely beautiful and at night, it was just amazing... All the stars and the fires we made. We saw wild animals a lot and the gorges and cliffs and waterfalls were breathtaking. I feel like I am in another world when I am in the woods. I always have felt that way.
    Gosh I sound like I am blabbering... What you doing?
