(23,314 posts)As a parent, nothing makes me happier than when my child accomplishes something on his own...whatever that is. From playing baseball, piano recitals and school grades. When he does something great by himself he just beams with pride. Cheating for your kid strips them of that pride of ownership and accomplishment. What a selfish thing to do. These parents stole what can be a wonderful part of these kids lives from them. At least it was stolen from the kids who give a crap about it. Loughlins daughter doesnt sound like she appreciates being at school at all.
My kid is almost 14...we just registered for high school and during the process, I had to have several talks with myself about how much I would insert my opinion into his schedule and class choices. I want this to be his awesome experience, not a reflection of what I think would be an ideal high school experience. My job is to help him see his options, help him open doors for himself via making good choices...the rest is up to him. This applies to college too.
This whole thing is an unecessary tragedy.
