[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could start another thread titled “Lies the parents tell school staff about their kid.”

We have no problem with him at home. 
He always sits right down and does his homework with no problem. I don’t know why he says he didn’t do it and didn’t turn it in and you found it at the bottom of his backpack all crumpled up and not written on.
You never sent that paper home.
I never got an email like that.
I never got a phone message from you.
We had no idea she wasn’t behaving at school. 
We have no problem taking her places in the community. (Despite school staff having witnessed many screaming meltdowns at Target and Giant).
We read with him thirty minutes each day.
He practiced his times tables all weekend. (Funny how you managed that on the weekend trip to Hersheypark).
He was too sick to come to school for the last two days. (Kid wrote a journal entry about the mid-week beach trip).
They have no trouble with him at Sunday School or Scouts. 
She is socially very successful at softball (surprising, because her teammates told all about how she chased the pitcher with the bat after being struck out).
There is no history of that in our family background.
It’s the school’s fault that he has bad grades and there is no reason for any testing.[/quote]

These examples mostly sound like they're from families who don't want services from the school. The rest of them sound like excuses that any parent could make up, if they are irresponsible... in other words, they don't sound special needs related (e.g., lying about practicing times tables, being sick).

The only thing that sounds legit is lying about family history. If a parent doesn't want to share that their mother committed suicide, or that they were physically abused as a child, for example, I think that's their prerogative. [/quote]
