It amazes me the extremes that some parents will go for the sake of protecting their children. I teach middle school and last year I had a little boy in my class who got caught cheating twice. The first time I caught him, I gave him a zero, his mother called and left a nasty message about me picking on her child and dropped the issue after the student still got a "B" on his report card at about Christmas.

Then, he got caught cheating again, the parent called and cursed me out. I hung up on her because there was no reasoning with her and she told the principal she was so disturbed she could barely carry on. The principal gave in and moved the child to another class....No sweat off my back!
