The parents are to blame here, too. These parents have so much control over what happens at the school. They want test dates changed? They're changed. They complain about too much homework? Homework gets cut down. School comes second to these parents when it conflicts with their schdule. Kids leaves for vacation a week before finals and ask to make them up and it's OK. These parents don't show their kids that school should come first, not seeing the new Harry Potter movie the day it opens (true story). You have understand the community my girl is in, though. It's the richest and highest tax paying county in the nation - Bergen County, NJ. And I guess that empowers these parents' say when it really shouldn't.
