[QUOTE="Shari, post: 464994, member: 1848"] I have a problem with just letting the copying and Chacha-ing go...that's a big fat no-no. HOWEVER, if we weren't considering a very near future change of scenery for her, I'd have told the teacher "call mom, not my problem". And mom's response would probably be to "ground" her from homecoming this weekend and "tv" (please note - when mom grounds her from tv, that means she can only watch what someone else is watching - not that she can't watch tv...) Since we are looking to change the space she does her homework in, calling mom will just open a can of worms that I don't think we don't need right now (and teacher seemed to agree). The kid needs help, and we might realisticly be looking down the barrel at the chance to do that. Punishing her won't get her that help and will just irritate mom and likely make the ultimate outcome harder to attain. But I still really do not like it. However, it is how she's learned to deal. I need a barf bag, too. [/QUOTE]
