Addendum to Back2School Night

I forgot to add this to my original post, but here is some more bashing about that night. I don't know what planet these parents are from but I felt like I was the only one asking questions. Maybe they've heard them all before but it seems like I was asking legitimate questions about the success of my cousin in school. Maybe the evil and conniving side of me made me more talkative but I don't think I asked questions that were too broad. They were pretty specific to the class. For example, in science class forty percent of their grade is based on labs. So I asked if any of that was done at home and the teacher said no. It would be good to know that wouldn't it? So I know that the student needs to be prepared to do labs and that he knows what's expected. Especially since it's such a big part of their grade.

I attribute that to L-A-Z-Y parenting and the general decline of focus into education in the US. Le sigh.
