 CG> My daughter had a teacher I LOVED when she was 9.  *I* thought she
 CG> did her students a world of good, but it was rumored that she was one
 CG> of the 3 yellers that school employed.  I didn't want that, but she
 CG> listened to ME, as the parent...  She even gave more credence to the
 CG> full-time mother(s) as they spend more time with the children, as
 CG> opposed to the fathers, who may work full-time.  More often than not,
 CG> she'd turn to me during a parent/teacher conference and say,"So, what
 CG> do YOU think, Mom?"  I LOVED it!  I wish all teahers gave mothers
 CG> credit for their efforts!  :)
 
 I alway got involved in my childrens grades and teacheres and they usually
 tried their best.  Except for a few things that they were very cold to, but
 other than that they always said to each other (which always got around to
 me) that I was one of the most involved parents around.
 CG> I would have more patience with my boys, but would not be able to get
 CG> through to my daughter.  That would be a deciding factor for me.  Of
 CG> my 3 children, it's my middle who needs and would benefit from it the
 CG> most.  He's an eager student, but lacks some social skills.  He's not
 CG> a favorite with the teachers because of this.
 You would be surprised what you can do.  My Jeremy academically is doing
 well.  Of course with the ADHD that is a problem to get him to focus.
 My academically intelligent daughter is giving me alot of problems.  If she
 doesn't get all right she whines and crys.  I thought she was going to be
 the easy one.  Fooled me!!!!!!!
