[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re talking to multiple posters.

Author of the article spoke to one teacher than did nothing further.

She tried to motivate her kids but knows they were ignoring her and watching YouTube.

She admits she doesn’t always make sure they’re doing the work.

There are no consequences for her children’s garbage attitude about how books are so basic.

Typical entitled lazy parent demanding the school do everything. [/quote]

From her Instagram page, it looks like they have three kids; the two boys are involved in extracurriculars like swim team, so there is limited time.  I also don't see where her husband is in the equation.  Maybe he has a demanding job, or maybe she does the lion's share as many mothers do, who knows.

Personally, I would only take a chance with a newish school with uneven academics if I had a) an only child, or b) another parent willing to help out equally with staying on top of their academics.  Otherwise, things will fall through the cracks, as they appear to be in this case.[/quote]
