Good parents issue guidelines to their children and hope the child errs on the side of caution, which to my mind in this case means calling the parent when she's not sure how to proceed.<br /><br />One guideline during a disagreement, unspoken but I'm sure assumed here, is to be polite. How about trying that next time you want to make a point? First off, you're being rude to me and my guest and second? Any point you might have made won't be taken to heart with a tone like that.

How will your child assess the test to determine if, by your rules, it should be taken or not? Recall that while you might see your kids teacher at school for an hour or two per month, your kid sees that teacher eight hours a day, five days a week. When you mock the teacher with asinine personal rules and make work, you should realize that any blow back or resistance from the teacher will... Do what? Hit your kid first. But hey, at least you'll have your political purity to cling to. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
