| 13. what i see is that someone has to be at fault for why kids aren't doing well in school |

and it can't be the parents! they are working all the time. it can't be the hours in front of the tv or video games.... it MUST be the teacher. it MUST be the school's fault.
the first thing i tell the teacher when i go in for parent teacher conference is that i am not one of those parents. i hold my children responsible for doing their work and behaving. i don't accept 'i forgot'. i don't accept 'but everyone else was doing it'. and i will do everything i can to help the teacher with my kid.
