    You what is worse----when they say " my Mom say's this class doesn't count"
    EWWWWW, my blood pressure rises. If the kids says it, at least he/she is there
    and I can nicely explain why it counts and is a very important part of their
    education. ( In fact that is one my journal questions for them- why is art
    important in education?) The parents who make THAT comment are the ones that
    often don't show at conference or open house.
    When I do get a student that says that- "my mom says" thing, I usually tell them,
    "that to be a responsible good student , you need to do well in all classes, not
    just some".
