There isn't a single comment, that I have read, from anyone that suggests, implies or even states that a parent is not the child's first teacher or that
I ask the question because my dd has missed assignments recently at school and I don't find it acceptable, as a parent, to just tell her to "shape up". IMO if the child has missed something in school, it is not something that should be taken lightly and if you need to step it up and help them out for awhile, that is what you do.
If she is anything like me (and from what I have read her parenting is a lot like mine), she does not have her have every thing planned out for future "What ifs" that may not ever happen. I think if it ever does happen then she will then decide the best course of action.
I just find it interesting you care so much about liza's grades -- would you like me to make pdf of her report card and put it on my facebook page? She's a smart girl -- who can be cocky and hasty and she has to learn to slow down and not rest on her laurels.

I thought that said if she misses one?

I think you have a remarkably limited world view.
Great post!
