<p>I know a mom who asked for a conference with the teacher and principal to find out what her daughter’s class rank was - in 2nd grade. She has been consistently loony ever since. (The mom, not the daughter - though I’m sure in this case there’s a high probability of the insanity being passed on to subsequent generations.)</p>
