How can you expect kids to follow rules when their parents don't?
Christina's middle school set up times for people to show up for the 6th grade orientation, ours was 8 AM. We arrived at 7:50 am and got in line. This line was a couple hundred people long already. We saw people from her old school in line, their last names started with letters other than "A-C" and should not have been there yet.
An orientation that should have taken 1 to 1.5 hours took 3 hours. That was even with us splitting up and waiting in different lines!!
Some early birds even had the nerve to complain that their "letter" wasn't posted to pick up books, schedules and locker assignments...Hmmmm, I wonder why? Oh yea, it was not your time to be there!!
