I copied the article to read later. I read the Newsweek article on Moms and agree with Tim that the cover story wasn't that great, but loved Anna Quinlin's piece.

I have to tell a quick story. I walked into the principal's office at my daughter's school before Christmas and She was sitting there with this funny Santa hat that corkscrewed into the air about 2 feet! I said to her that was quite a hat after I could stop laughing (she was laughing too)! She said she was going to meet with a parent and if she looked goofy, it was hard for them to yell at her.

See I don't understand why a parent would conduct themself that way. I guess there are a lot of adults that weren't raised with decent manners or is everyone so self centered that feel entitled to conduct themselves badly?

Another website for teachers has the full text of the story in their postings. Since it's not being directly posted here, it should be okay. You can read it at forums.atozteacherstuff.com/showthread.php?threadid=8834

It's still at the newstands - I just picked up a copy of the issue. Just FYI.

Would you please email me a copy of that article! Thanks! This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I can only read just the first few paragraphs without paying money... please foward.
