"Field Day? I'm not coming to school. In fact, my Mom is going to call me in sick so I don't have to go."
That is exactly what happened in my class yesterday. The student is a plump little slug. She refuses to run in PE. but she runs ar recess. She refuses to do anything physical except on her own terms. Her Mother always calls school and give "excuses" about why she can't do this or that. It drives me crazy. I am over weight and I am old and have a bad knee and I do more than she does.
Why do parents skip out on being parents? We had a blast yesterday. The games were imaginative and hysterical. My class had a really good time. I just don't understand why parents allow their children to skip activities like that.
