It’s more of a soft bullying. Being excluded from sitting with girls on the school bus. Being made fun of. She’s not being spit on or shoved or called horrible names, but it still sucks. More
There is nothing about her ensemble that is inappropriate or even looks like it could possibly violate any dress code. More
My kid is just not feeling this whole school thing today, unlike these amazingly cute kids from Orr Elementary rapping about how awesome their school is! More
When it came to being the daughter of a teacher, most people complained about having their parents in the hallways, all the other teachers keeping an eye on you. It made it easy to get caught when other kids slid under the radar. It made for higher expectations from teachers, assistants and administrators. Most kids complained, but I loved it. More

Imagine finding a hand-written note from your teenage son with lines such as “Thank you for giving me life,” “I am with Nan and Granddad now” and “At my funeral make everyone wear bright colors to remember my personality.” Traumatizing, no? When Vicky Walker read it, she assumed it was a suicide note – or at least some sort of official goodbye – written by her 14-year-old son, Wesley Walker. Turns out it was a school assignment. More
You know those annoying parents who are always bugging teachers or say, the school principal, about petty stuff? Yeah, those parents suck. But not as much as Kent and Jill Easter, a married couple who allegedly framed an elementary school volunteer for not “properly supervising” their son. More
As a mother, I’m used to being an unpaid chauffeur, cleaner, cook and caretaker. But collection agent? I don’t think so. Yet that’s what precisely happens when you offer to organize the teacher’s “group gift.” People go AWOL. They don’t respond to emails. On one occasion in the past, I paid for the gift card upfront and still have yet to see the contribution from one errant parent. Of course by the time school resumed in the fall, I was too tense to acknowledge the debt, but every time I bump into that person, I wonder if she’s thinking what I’m thinking: that she owes me $30! More
It’s not exactly shocking that a group of 7th-grade boys would be interested in pornography. And it’s certainly not surprising that they’ve discovered masturbation. That said, what on earth were nine boys thinking when they decided to watch porn on their cell phones – and masturbate – in the middle of class?! The even bigger question is: What the hell was their teaching doing sitting at his desk, letting it all happen? More

Today I read an article in the New York Post that I truly believed was an April Fools joke ’til I remembered we’re in June. It’s about the Blue School, an experimental private school in lower Manhattan founded by the Blue Man Group (I know, right?). Turns out that parents are shocked to discover the school’s “integrated, emergent, child-centered curriculum” is teaching their children jack shit. In fact, their precious ones can barely read, which might have something to do with the fact that there are no books or tests at the $32,000-per-year institution. More
Paris Jackson is proof that you can be famous and drop-dead gorgeous, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get picked on at school. In fact, Michael Jackson‘s 14-year-old daughter tells Oprah Winfrey she’s being bullied at her fancy private school. The good news is she doesn’t let it get it her (or at least she claims it doesn’t work). The bad news is that no one – not even Paris Jackson – is immune from bullying. More
Most mothers experience guilt year-round but there’s something about June in particular that makes me feel like the Shittiest Mom Ever. And you know why? Because it’s the end of the school year. That means my calendar is filled with school-related events – everything from parent-teacher interviews to grad ceremonies to class trips to “end-of-year” picnics. And while most of these are happy events worth celebrating, I’m wondering when the hell I’m supposed to get any work done. More
A canoe trip is a pretty awesome class trip, if you ask me. That is, until a fully-grown chaperone tricks you into eating moose shit as the principal watches on. More
Last I checked, high-school graduation is cause for celebration. And it’s lovely to see students surrounded by excited family members on their big day. Unless, of course, your family member is being arrested for cheering too loudly. That’s precisely what happened to Shannon Cooper, a proud South Carolina mom who was arrested during her daughter’s high-school graduation last week. More
