The next day, she came to work raving about the new Rock Band game she had purchased ($50) on her way home the night before. Her son is in community college because they didn't require the SATs. I am not saying that community college is bad but she made it his only choice because she put a new video game before his testing fee.Evansmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608017212902742315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-76404838374474067682009-12-30T12:41:18.639-06:002009-12-30T12:41:18.639-06:00too funny ..too funny ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-75534726183474673022009-12-30T12:38:34.842-06:002009-12-30T12:38:34.842-06:00Wow!

When I look at the accompanying parent, he/she is asleep. Head down on the desk. In the exam room.<br /><br />Or how many times I've seen a kid for "sleep disturbance". Cause kiddie is falling asleep everyday in school, and mom wants BLOOD TESTS. Cause something MUST be WRONG. Then after some investigation, I find out that sleepy kiddie has the tv on in his room all night. When I suggest turning it off, mom says "he can't sleep with it off, neither can I, we all have tvs in our bedrooms cause that's the only way we can fall asleep". Right. But your kid is UP ALL NIGHT WATCHING TV.<br /><br />Astounding.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861251743062824891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-86711380185808423832009-12-30T10:15:47.002-06:002009-12-30T10:15:47.002-06:00Wow....it is a little scary, but your test might j...Wow....it is a little scary, but your test might just be necessary!

I managed to get through HS with a B/C average and that was fine with me. :) I had a million chores, took care of my sisters, had my own bed and bedroom and we didn't have video games until I was a senior in HS - and we had Colecovision haha Not even Atari! I grew up very independent and able to do just about everything but cook for myself.

All of my teacher friends would LOVE LOVE LOVE this test.<br /><br />I remember back when I was a grocery store cashier working until midnight. I was STUNNED at how many people would be dragging their school aged kids through the store past 10pm. <br /><br />Some I was sympathetic for as it was clear mom or dad just got off work and this was the only time to get essentials. But the rest? OMG - loading up on cigs and beer, letting the kids run wild, promising candy and then screaming at them for not standing still. Yeah, no wonder kids act up or fall asleep in class and can't pay attention.qandlequeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02756567197176596886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-74798618157173287612009-12-30T05:53:20.802-06:002009-12-30T05:53:20.802-06:00I was one who really did get all my homework done ...I was one who really did get all my homework done in school--I hated homework so much!
