Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Apparently her mom has been writing her papers all along, but now that they are about Shakespeare and such, she can't do it any more!!!!!!!!
JZ, that just plain sucks. When I left my CT school, I had 80 DAYS of unused sick time. Frustrating as hell to not get a penny for it, but I would have been even more pissed if I'd had a situation like yours.
Recently CJ was upset about us checking his homework because "if we told him what he did wrong then it wasn't his work". We tried to explain we were more checking to make sure it was done and legible than what the answers were.
But we also explained that there are times where it is good to brainstorm a problem with someone else and discuss the concepts behind a paper. As long as the person assigned the work is doing the actual work, it is ok to get ideas from others.
So tricky.
JZ - I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong to be upset. You were given such bad information when you went on leave.
RAGE BOMB.
Word.
I think the daughter should (a) be reported to the Dean of students; and (b) fail.
Either or both would do. What the hell kind of parent thinks this is a good thing to do for your kid?
I'm a rage bomb about mommy writing papers for her daughter.
Allyson, you should have seen me the day I found out from our valedictorian that his parents had been doing his homework for him through high school in addition to giving him money so he didn't have to work during the school year.
I would have lunged from the back seat and throttled him to death if he hadn't been driving the car.
I am also filled with rage about paper-writing parent, but I'm already in a pissy mood because of Passive Aggressive Entitled Student (tm) in my last class. My moods right now are not to be trusted.
You know, I hear stories like this, and I wonder, how come Buffistas aren't running the world?

I can't figure out what the hell her mom was thinking. An english major who can't write is not going to find a friendly world after college.

Except for the fact that this is a world in which George W. Bush is president of the United States, despite his complete inability to form and speak a single coherent sentence.

I'm talking about getting a good job.
And W is the king of parental privileges/favors.
