<p>Wow…I have friends who teach at elementary schools where they have to take the kids shoes and socks home at night so the kids will have them again in the morning. Unfortunately the CC parent is not the norm out there in public schools. If some students “need” more from the teachers or pretend to need more, so be it. We can’t presume what that students home life is like.<br>
Why not just raise our own kids to be as strong as we can and let others do their own thing? If parents are continually pointing out the “unfairness” of teachers giving certain kids more attention or the flaws in the adults in our kids lives what is the message we are giving them?<br>
Blast away…I know I am the lone voice here.</p>
