[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 3277514, member: 7883"] I can laugh about this, because my wife is a stylist, and I've heard this kind of thing before. It is humourous how many parents spend all their time on their careers, have latch-key kids, and in fact let their kids get lazy, because as parents, they're not around enough to push the kids, and identify problems. They hoist them off on the teachers, then are surprised when their kids get in trouble, and the teachers are the ones instructed to go ahead and pass that kid who scored 40% on his math course, because otherwise, the parent will talk to the principal, and get the teacher suspended. How often have you seen kids doing class science projects, where it was in fact mommy and daddy who did it, so the kid can win the trophy? I remember back in Grade 9, my brother (who was in grade 8), made a magnetic propelled model train (I think that's what it was).... He was disqualified, because it was claimed that there was no way a grade 8 could do that on his own. Living in the house at the time, I knew he was just very smart, and our parents didn't help in the slightest. However, we knew the kid that did win, and *knew* that his father did the project for him, using parts he brought home from his office. Incidentally, my brother became a very talented engineer. Way too many parents let their kids get off easy, don't get involved when they should, and then *do* get involved when they shouldn't. Banshee [/QUOTE]
