Interesting perspective. I think that what the school expects of me as a parent and what the school expected from my parents are completely different. My parents were responsible for getting me on the bus.

As a parent, I'm responsible for [b]homework, charging chrome books[/b], spirit days, snacks, other dress up days, and a never-ending parade of extras. I do it and I support the teachers 100% but, seriously, my parents just had to get me on the bus. [/quote]

Shouldn't your child be doing these things?[/quote]

Sure, my 7 year old boy remembers these things 100% on his own.

Not.[/quote]

Oh, you poor martyr victim, having to raise your own child.

The horror.[/quote]

No. The point is that it's not the 70's when parents had to teach their kids to tie their shoes and wash their hands. We do that too, of course, but also 50 million other things. My mom remarks that we have so much more to handle with our kids than they did when I was young. [/quote]
