Basically, this mother is pissed because her 8-year old daughter won an award for having the most excuses for not having her homework finished. Of course, people are getting upset over it, when honestly it shouldn't be that big of a deal. The mom should be ashamed of herself, anyway, because she didn't even know that her kid wasn't turning in her homework, when her kid was ENROLLED IN AN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM. Anyway, when I was in 5th grade, my teacher gave the students in my class gag-gifts that picked on them and no one, not even the parents, cared. One girl got a tissue box, because she use to get up in the middle of class ALL THE TIME to blow her nose. I got a red Gatorade, because we once went on a field trip and I got a red slushie at a gas station. On my way into the classroom, I tripped up the stairs and spilled it, everywhere. Yeah, it was kind of embarrassing, but I laughed along with everyone else and didn't make a fuss or cry about it. Not even my oversensitive mother cared, she realized it was just a joke. It didn't even seem like the girl in the article cared, anyway. Just her uptight mother.

Certainly the mother should be more aware of her daughter's homework, but having the daughter laughed at in class isn't going to help.

It's just a joke, though. The principal even realized this. I mean obviously if the teacher was going to go to all the trouble of signing and dating it, she didn't think it was that big of a deal.

let this be a lesson to the girl about doing her HW, but let it be a bigger lesson to the mother to know what is going on with her child. It is getting out of hand where parents expect everyone else to raise their child then when said child mess up the parents blames everyone but themselves

I agree, some parents don't do their job as parents to bring up their child.
