[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And you'll be the parent calling in college to find out why your little darling hasn't passed any classes.  Kids have to learn to take responsibility, and a parent's constant intervention only prevents this.[/quote]while your child will be the one who got frustrated without parental help, and who dropped out of high school to score weed in your basement with his buddies.... :mrgreen: [/quote]

No, mine developed a work ethic, got their work done without needing my assistance, took their lumps for not doing the work and managed to pass all their classes.  Have served and are serving our country, raising wonderful children and completely independent.  Great friends at this point and we all respect each other.

Most of the time I had no idea what their projects were unless they asked me for assistance.  I never went to a back to school night, think I hit 3 teacher conferences after elementary school---MAJOR waste of everyone's time---and IIRC, the one time I actually signed a school paper the office called to see if it was forged.  OTOH, my kids didn't hide anything from me, did not fear punishment, and did well in school of their own free will and volition, not because they were nagged.

Truthfully, most if not all of the things they teach kids in school are misguided or wrong.  Certainly not needful for everyday life....and in VA, all they care about are test scores.[/quote]

What posts like yours fail to realize is that not every kid is like yours. Some need -truly need- parental involvement. They develop differently.
But, I guess it's easier to paint every kids with the same brush and feel superior.[/quote]
