[quote=Anonymous]Mostly parents with kids with problems (most of us) are exhausted and trying our best to help our kids, but we often feel at wits' end and that sometimes the schools nit pic at each little thing.  So lying is just a way to get out of something you don't want to do.  Yes, I know this is not mature, but I have three kids who are usually fine, but I hate hearing from the school that kid one spit gum at recess and kid 2 didn't put the tops on magic markers and kid three didn't turn in her book report on time.  Ofcourse, i would want to know immediately if any of the kids were violent, depressed. extremely rude, or mean to other children.  But I wish the school would just take care of little stuff.  The last time I volunteered the teacher I was helping, wanted to report every little thing.  My impulse was just to tell the kid to stop tickling or teasing in a firm voice.  The kids seemed to respond and next time I just gave the kid the evil eye and she controlled her impulses.  So there is my rant.  I am thankful to teachers. really.  Just have my bad days as a single mom.[/quote]
