Parent-Teacher Conference -- Vindicated!

The teacher agreed with almost every thing I've said about raising an 8 year old. 

1) They should be able to wake up on their own in the morning with an alarm clock.

2) They should be able to pick their own clothes and dress themselves. 

3) They should have more chores and responsibilities. 

4) They should be allowed to use their own judgement and make mistakes.

5) They should suffer consequences for their actions. I have said this a million times, "She acts out because there are no consequences to her actions."

6) They should be reading more books instead of playing. 

7) They should not have to be told to clean their rooms.

8) There needs to be a consistency in message between parents.
