[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child just started elementary school and I volunteered to assist with homework. The same handful of kids never do their homework. One of the kids is friends with my child. Mom seems to like me. We've had a few play dates. I can't help but be bothered that this mom does not ever send in her child's homework.[/quote]

My 4 brothers never did their damned homework in elementary and middle school. Two did in high school, two were still negligent.
One doctor, one phd, a computer scientist and a lawyer 
They got it together. No one ever did anything for them, took them to a learning specialist or even said anything (raised by a single mom).
We were upper middle class though with many opportunities such as private school and college. If we were in a lower middle class with fewer opportunities and schools that weren't great I could see having more of a cow about it. Not that that would help but I can understand it

What also helped was knowing that they'd have no money and a crappy quality of life if they didn't get it together. We lived in an upper middle class neighborhood but school was scholarship and there were no extras at all.[/quote]
