Hello Team,
We were introduced today to Dan and Sarah's Mothers. Both took a drastically different approach to handling their children.
What was you first impressions of them?
Second, do you understand or appreciate why Dan and Sarah act the way they do?
Looking back on your reading response about the factors that molded Dan what would you add or take away after reading the next few chapters?
This clip highlights the concerns regarding teens and their parents.
How would you rate Dan and Sarah Moms approach to handling their teens?
i think that sarahs mom is bring way to easy on her. her mom is just thinking of herself and her childhood.its like sarah can do anything she wants without getting yelled at, or being grounded.i think dans moms parenting is good.it is good because the fact she is taking everything away and grounding him makes him realize the mistake and not do it again
ReplyDelete@mr cheney
ReplyDeletethe clipis not showing, its just a blank square
I think Dan's mom took this situation seriously because she was on the situation she kept talking about it in the school in the car I can even imagine in the house. Sarah's mom didn't take the situation seriously because she didn't even say anything about Sarah cheating on the mid-term. Sarah's mom cared more about Sarah's health then her cheating on a test.
ReplyDeleteDan and Sarah should have responded that way because their mom's made them respond that way Dan's mom cared and made Dan irritated because he didn't want his mom talking about the problem outside or in the car he wanted her to talk about it in the house. Sarah only acted that way because she is a single mother and cared about her health more than her getting in trouble because she promised her ex-husband that she would take care of Sarah.
@ Luigi Sarah's mom only acted that way because she promised her ex-husband to take care of her.
ReplyDelete@stanly
ReplyDeletei never thought of sarahs mom being single, that most likely is the reason for her being so soft on her
@ Luigi How would your parents react to you cheating on a mid-term/test.
ReplyDelete@stanly what do you mean by dans mom was on the situation
ReplyDelete@stanly
ReplyDeletethey would get sooo mad and probably send me to a hostel in india.(thats a boarding school)
what about you?
@stanly
ReplyDeletei dont remember sarahs mom promising her dad
@ Luigi My parents would yell at me for quite a while, well I've cheated before but I've never been caught.
ReplyDelete@stanly
ReplyDeletedont you think that sarahs mom should be harder because she is basically not caring of what sarah does. and to make her stop cheating maybe a little more anger to show not to cheat again
@ Luigi Yes. I think Sarah's mom should be much harder on Sarah. Due to the fact that this makes her think that she can cheat over and over again. I think Sarah will stop cheating because of Mr.Chen.
ReplyDelete@stanly
ReplyDeleteyea and she might do something even worse when she gets older
having the mentality that her mom wont do anything, just give her stories of her childhood
ReplyDelete@ Luigi Sarah's mom promised her ex-husband that she would take care of Sarah's health but she didn't care about her cheating because she didn't get hurt.
ReplyDelete@ Luigi Sarah's mom is going affect Sarah's life because if Sarah's mom doesn't teach Sarah do the right things when she gets older things will become far worst.
ReplyDeleteDan' mom was very serious about it because one she was very angry a Dan and the principal and saying he had no proof or that Dan should have some benefits from the school because since she volunteers there.Sarah's mom was clearly very self-centered because she related EVERYTHING to herself as Sarah said.
ReplyDeleteI think after reading this chapter,i would put more attention on their parents because parents are a big factor in a child's head and whatever they do or teach you, it always in yourself.
@Luigi, I agree because as Sarah said her mom realtes everything to herslef and i think it puts alot of impact on Sarah because maybe that's why she doesn't talk to her mom that often but one thing i did notice that her mom didn't punish her.
ReplyDelete@Greenranger,I think her mom would affect her but we still have to think about her dad , he stills plays a role in her life like she said he meets her every Sunday but i wonder how the talk would go and how her dads reaction would be.
ReplyDelete@janat
ReplyDeleteyea
and she probably learnt to hear what others have to say first because her mom just never lets her speak
@ Luigi When I said Dan's mom was on the situation I meant that his mom was talking about eh situation so much.
ReplyDelete@janat
ReplyDeleteif sarahs mom got divorced, her dad would probably be just like sarahs mom and thats why they divorced
If my parents ever caught me cheating, then i would be in so much trouble and looked at every differently. They would bring it up all the time and put the blame on my friends and on myself for not being readying and having to do something so low.
ReplyDelete@ JAN101 Her dad is going to care but not yell at her because he's probable a much more understanding person.
ReplyDelete@Luigi,I don't think her dad would be just like sarah's mom because that cant be a reason for a divorce i think, and maybe he would have something more "parently"to say
ReplyDeleteI'll be back around 7:30 - 8:00
ReplyDelete@Greenranger,True but how we do know?I'm not saying hes going to yell at her but maybe he would listen to her and understand why she made the choice to cheat but also try to help her out of the problem shes in-that's shes suspended until mr Chen finds out how they got the answers.
ReplyDeleteafter hearing about Dan i think he gets scared of his parents and he doesn't have a straight face in front of his parents. Only at school he wants to be the cool guy
ReplyDeletecould someone plz give a breif summary of what happened when the moms arrived because i wasn't there when that part was read.
ReplyDeleteI think both parents handeled the situation negativly. Dan's mother's approach was very aggresive; my child didn't do this, you have no proof. Sarah's mother's approach was Oh my Sarah, this is all my fault. Look what this divorce has done to you, boo hoo. My first impression was that they don't have a good relationship with thier kids.
ReplyDeleteI understand why Dan acts the way he does. If his mother doen't believe its his fault, he won't either, and his ego will just inflate even more. I understand and appreciate why Sarah acts the way she does because I can relate to her probably the most in this situation.
I would definatly add Dan's mother to the factors that form Dan. He always believes that nothing is his fault, only the others around him. Dan's mother just put gas in the car when she stormed in demanding Dan did NOT cheat.
@Sana Dan's mom came in and demanded that Dan had no part in this. Then Mr. Chen showed Dan's mom the identical test paper and said they would all be suspended until this was solved. After, Dan's mom blew up in the car and grounded him for a long tim (he couldn't go th Julie's party).
ReplyDeleteSarah's mother pulled a different approach. She kept blaming herself and Sarah's parents divorce for all of this not Sarah. How Sarah thought if she had good grades her father would notice her more than Sarah's step sister. Sarah also has to tell her father about this, but she is going to wait when she sees him Sunday.
My first impression of Dan's mom was she was VERY defensive of her child, as if she was a lawyer and he was a client. And Mr.Chen was the opposition. I mean she used his first name, meaning shes known him for a long time. My parents will never call my teachers by their first name. And Sarah's mom I've seen her case before the divorced mother that'll blame all her problems on her husband. Whether they went through a divorce or he just left her. She will never take the blame on herself and will smoke, drink, or sleep too much to get rid of the stress. She will procrastinate about things. Again this is a prediction on her personality. I know Dan acts the way he does because he's probably a big guy, self centered, he's now just cocky, he's overcocky. He won't lose confidence, and no I don't appreciate the way he acts. I think he was Ruby's ex, and she probably broke up with him because of his attitude. And that's why she said in her head "I hate you Dan". And Sarah I can understand where she's coming from, a single mother she's gotta get high grades, just to prove to her mom that she's good at school. So she cheats, and now her mom found out so she's gonna have to sit through talks about her father. To me Dan's mom deserves a 8.5 because another mother can be called to the office and sit through what the principle has to say about his behavior. But, no Dan's mom would rather talk before she heard his voice, defend her child before she'd scold him. And Sarah's mom ehh not a very good rating 6.1 she over reacts to a situation blaming herself, and blaming her husband. Bringing herself down. But the bright side was that she doesn't blame her daughter. The bad sign to Dan's mom was that she's to aggressive. Mr Chen probably had nothing to say because he knows there's no point in arguing with her, she'll take care of Dan. So he doesn't say much.
ReplyDelete@Luigi
ReplyDeleteGood Point there with Dan's mom being all strict, but is all strict parenting work on all types of children, is it effective?
I have a cousin with ADHD (and if your asking, Yes he does come to our school) I mean his mom will yell, scream, and go to such lengths to just do a simple thing as eat. And if he's with me he'll do whatever I tell him. In this situation (Dan's and Sarah's) Do you think it's the mom or the child that has to change their attitude.
Hi Mr. Cheney i will be coming in tomm from 8:45 to 10:15
ReplyDelete@ JAN101 Well that's my opinion that his dad is a person that cares but not yell at her.
ReplyDelete@Buttercup
ReplyDeleteAmazing observation with the inflammation of his ego, and sports players do tend to get cocky when they are complimented, and overconfident.
We often think adults always have the wrong approach, but, put yourselves in their shoes, would't you wanna defend your child in this situation? I mean he's going to high school and don't you want to want him to go to the best one?
Where is everybody?
ReplyDelete@Blue Ranger
ReplyDeleteBut he seemed so calm with his mom in the car besides the fact that she chose to yell at him in the middle of the parking lot. What made you think that he was scared of his parents?
@Janat
ReplyDeleteSo what are you saying? That Dan's mom is aggressive? That she's expects something out of all her volunteer work?
@Sana
ReplyDeleteWe read about Dan and Sarah's mother's coming over and talking to Mr Chen. Dan's mom acted as if she were a lawyer defending Dan calling Mr Chen by his first name. She barely heard anything Chen said.
Sarah's mom was more calm. Having her husband leave her she blames him and herself. She won't blame Sarah. They both are driven home by their mom's. And Ruby walks by the office and sees Dan thinking about how much she hates that smug face and how Rob was looking so down. And she wondered why they were in the office, And had a short discussion with Dan. He didn't say much but she knew they were in the office because of the test.
My first impression to Dan's mother was she has a point well...somewhat because his mother is committed to helping out at the school and she has paid for things in the school to make a better place for an example the auditorium she paid for it to be better and like kids make mistakes all the time if the principal cant even do one favor for her then shes kind of wasting time what is she getting in return for all of her hard work? what is she getting for the money she is giving? pretty much nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhat i thought of Sarah's mother is just ..ok then.....like your kid got in trouble for doing something bad and she just blames its on the father everything is not the fathers fault people do things for certain reasons they may be stupid or smart but there is always a reason also because when ever its about Sarah it changes about her mother its all about her mother which i think is not patently....i don't know if its the right word but she is very self-centered as in its about her,her,her all the attention should be on her as if shes in the spot light all the time......which clearly she makes it about her
I somewhat understand why Sarah and Dan do things but i mostly understand Sarah not really Dan.Sarah has a hard going life when she might need help from her mother she might always change the topic into her self by telling a story she remembers...its seems to me her mother with this attitude Sarah can't study maybe because her mother keeps on reminding Sarah that her father left her maybe Sarah doesn't have ths strength to keep up because she has no father maybe also because she has to do everything on her own she has to stand for herself by herself with no support....like when we fall back most of us always have our parents to bring us back up but i think with Sarah once she falls down she can't get back up...
@luigi: Sarah has it easy on her but do you think that’s good?? She can do whatever however she wants without getting in trouble from her mom but what about when she needs support? Remember its all about Sarah’s mom never about Sarah...if Sarah wins a medal or an award do you think Sarah’s mom will show up to give her support? Or how about when she’s in a competition? She needs the support from her friends but also from her own mother......
ReplyDelete@Sauce Boss
ReplyDeleteOf course, I would want to defend my child. I just don't agree with the way his mom handled the situation. I do think Dan has gotten in a fair amount of trouble, because he was so calm and didn't really worry about this situation. Knowing that, I don't think his mother should have gotten worked up that fast.
I also think his mother shouldn't have just only given him the punishments. Parents always tend to do that when we get in trouble; yell and give punishments. What does that teach us? It tells me that I'm only scared of the consequence and don't respect my mother to just do what she expects, I need consequences to make me do it. The mother should have asked why he did it, not only give consequences.
@Green ranger: that is true his mom did take it a bit seriously well much more seriously than Sarah’s mother but she had a talk with Dan in the car but why didn’t she have the talk at school? In front of the principal why did she just say to do a favour for how committed she is to the school? Why didn’t she show that she was serious about why he did this and was going to give a talk with Dan even maybe a talk together with the principal?
ReplyDelete@neha
ReplyDeletei never said that was a good thing
@tabish
ReplyDeletewhat is ADHD.
can you explain?
@Princess Daisy, I don't think Dan's mother took it more seriously than Sarah's. Both mothers have different personalities and react to the situations differently. Dan's mother screams, while Sarah's cries. We usually respond more to screaming verses crying, so I get where your coming from. What do you think, does screaming or crying react more to you?
ReplyDelete@luigi: i know you never said it was a good thing but neither did you say it was bad im just asking you
ReplyDelete@Luigi, It's a behavior disorder. It makes the people act without thinking, they're kind of hyper and have trouble focusing.
ReplyDelete@neha
ReplyDeletedo you think her hard work would get dan out of trouble?
thats like having a son rob a bank then go to court. and if you helped the government alot, do you really think that they would let him out free?So i think princible Chen is right, her work towords the school is irrelivent in this situation.
saying this does not make sense. work and your son cheating is a whole different story. another example is homework. you cant work your but off the first month and then the next month you cant say that last month you worked so hard and expect the teacher to let you go
@nicole
ReplyDeletekk thanks
@nicole
ReplyDeletei highly think dans mother took it more serious. sarahs mom was thinking of herself and not really talking about her cheating, she was just sharing her childhood stories.yea that might be the way they want to teach them, but dans mom was yelling and angry. where sarahs mom was being so kind but just thinking of herself
@nicole
ReplyDeletebut if you dont give them consequences, they will keep on doing it
@lugigi: lol my mom and Dad both say that ,why a hostel in India??!??!?! Well i guess india isn’t the same as here they are more strict in all of this.
ReplyDeleteIn some cultures just by cheating and get caught is a huge thing. Right now it seems OK the parents aren't getting mean but if it were mine i would get yelled at some people take this as if it were nothing but really its something....sitting in the office and sitting on the bench not because you are hurt is a big thing not to be racist or anything but Indians if something happens like this get ready for big consequences we are very particular even ....in a test even if its just a mark we need to get that mark everyone expects us to be perfect and so pressure is put on us... stereo types as in all Asians are smart some people go along with that and i wont lie most of us are smart but that sometimes just goes overboard maybe Sarah cheated cause she had enough going on this journey herself so no matter who what where when why or how it started you were involved in it ready to go some where you can learn to be better....in our minds it such a small things but in our parents its big !
@tabish
ReplyDeletei agree
but i have NEVER seen someone so defensive about their child before. maybe she did that because mr chen told her it was an emergency and made her cancel her appointement
@neha
ReplyDeleteyea
i remember in mr goerges class he shared a story of a indian who committed suicide. i think the teen was in gr 10 , but him and his friends went to dollarama.his friend was trying to be funny and put a unbought pen in the teens pocket.(he was punjabi) and then security came and found out, they sent everybody home. then teen who was kowalled, went home and suicided before his parents came home. he was sooo scared of the consequences. and the hard thing to be lieve is that at lunch time they went to dollarama on purpose to do that
@luigi: I understand what you are trying to say but robbing a bank and cheating in class is a very different level. Like I found it doesn’t hurt to try like say I have worked very hard for this school to make it better so my son can have somewhere to be better and please just for this once can you let him go ....it’s doesn’t hurt to try who knows he might let him go ..but I totally understand what you are trying to say robbing a bank is a CRIME you can go t JAIL for that at school it’s just going to the principal’s office it will affect you and your school but its not having a criminal record ....get it ??
ReplyDeletebut the expectations for us are high. only because when they use to be kids, they learnt gr12 things in gr 7. also they learnt cursive before gr1
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah's mom takes the more delicate route since the divorce and as a normal mother she doesn't want the divorce to hurt her child and just blames everything on it since Sarah's mom think its affecting Sarah emotionally and shes doing all this bad stuff because of that
ReplyDeleteDan's mom thinks Dan's An idol child or an Angle child because she thinks he wont do anything bad since its her "Baby Danny" and it enforces it since hes on sports teams and supposedly has been so good in school and has been a good old Angle
no, i meant that his friends played a joke at dollarama and he committed suicide. i was trying to emphasize the fac that if you lose marks, cheat, or get in trouble, you will have BIG consequences.(atleast for some of us)
ReplyDelete@Luigi, deciding on who's mother took it more seriously is a matter of opinion and also ties into the way we are disciplined and raised. Yes, I do agree with consequences but that shouldn't be the reason why I do this as apposed to this.
ReplyDeleteIf I was a parent, I'd rather have my child respect me, not fear me(based on consequences). I think consequences without explaining/understanding just hurt the mother-child relationship, thats what I don't get with some parents.
@luigi: exactly some parents take the risk and send kids back home themselves and they go hostages like i have seen pictures and hostel aren't like staying at university they are much worse like you will get in big trouble for missing class you get breakfast in the morning only once and if you miss breakfast its your fault , there is not hygienic food washroom and everything you have to do your self
ReplyDelete@thamil
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean by saying sarahs mom is taking a more 'delicate'route. honestly, i dont think she even talked about cheating to sarah. so she basically isnt really taking any 'route' to teach her of what to do and what not to
@Red Ranger: so do you think that its okay for Sarah's mother to be treating her like that and blaming everything on the father and make everything ok just like that ???
ReplyDelete@neha
ReplyDeletetrue
but when my cousin went to his boarding school, he dropped the chalk and it broke. then the teacher got REALLY hot tea and poured it all over his neck. thats really strict
@luigi: aoowwww!! they are crazy i mean it not trying to be rude or anything but its so stupid and that's why i am strict
ReplyDelete@Dan's Mom...she is the prime example why the rich stay rich and the reality that people with power and privileged get power and privilege for ones close to them. This is systemic inequality and so many of you agreed with her position.
ReplyDeleteShe used her power and "volunteer" work to justify a BREAK for her child.
any thoughts about that?
My first impressions of Dan, and Sarah's parents were that they seemed absolutely realistic almost about what lecture my mom will give me for doing something bad at home like Sarah's mom but, Dan's mom was what I like to call "Defensive" for their siblings and Sarah's mom was really focused on the past tense of her life she thought that she had the best child-parent relationship with her daughter.Yet,she still couldn't face the fact that she is the one that did everything wrong and didn't have the strong bond between one another who knows Sarah's Dad could have been a great Dad and by what I heard he is a great Dad showing that the bond was great thinking that Sarah can talk her mom into something just with one call.
ReplyDeleteI now understand why Sarah and Dan act that way because most likely Sarah was influenced by her Mom/Dad to act all calm at the time but most likely she is doing that to hide her inner thoughts that will crack out when she goes right home.
Dan acts that way because her mom saying he didn't do anything make him influenced to think that I am above all because of me never getting in trouble.etc.
I actually wouldn't take out what I wrote in my reading response because I wrote almost exactly Past tense influence and why it is that.
I would give a rating in 1 to 10 stars I think that
Dan's moms approach was : 6 out of 10 stars.
Sarah's moms approach was a : 8 out of 10 stars.
I rated this for maturity because Dan's moms approach was the I didn't do anything I'm innocent excuse which makes her maturity level a low 6.
I rated Sarah's moms approach 8 out of 10 because of her being all cool with it and telling her daughter what it was like in her age.But, I didn't like that she blamed it on her husband that didn't show maturity.
@Mr.Cheney: its kind of like the super people article people buy their education people buy their spots the same way his mom used volunteer to get a break for her child if its ok for them to buy their education even thought they aren't so smart the same way she can use volunteer
ReplyDeleteAlso which reminds me Natasha will be coming tomorrow to help from 8:45- 10:15
@Sauce Boss, I didnt say that mom is aggressive and she said that herself that from all her volunteering time , she should expect something and that it shouldn't go on the permanent record
ReplyDelete@ Princess daisy, yeah they went to do scary sports and everything and they could do it because they had the money to do it.They have the advantage because of the money and they use it.
ReplyDeleteI think what Sarah's mom did was an example bad parenting. I say this because she started to talk about Sarah and her mistakes, then she got deeper into her childhood and how this is all her fault also on about her husband. At the end, Sarah gets away with it. So she will never learn from her mistakes.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, Dan's mother's lecture was an example of good parenting because now Dan should no that it's wrong to cheat, but how much his mother grounds him and punishes him he would never learn from his mistakes. That's just in this case, it would work better on other kids.
@ luigi
ReplyDeleteI agree, Sarah's mom should stay to the main concept which was that she cheated she ranted on and then finally came to a point where she didn't punish Sarah at all.
@Sonic, Sarah s mom approach was calm but she was just talking about her life and relating it to herself
ReplyDelete@Mario,I agree she didn't explain or say anything to Sarah except for talking about how she could relate to it and i think it was sarah's mom who thought it was a emergency
ReplyDeleteDan's mom: 8 out of 10
ReplyDeleteShe acted responsible and mature also I think she made the right decision because when you do some thing negative you get punished so the next time you do it you, you will stop because of the fear of punishment.
Sarah's mom: 5 out of 10
She acted kinda of self centered because she went on and on and she started to talk about her self. This is different from Dan's mother's actions upon Dan. Because when you get punished you don't do it because of the fear of punishment and consequences. As Mr.Cheney said at the beginning of the school year he wants us to do for ourselves also our benefit and what Dan's mother did was avoiding that expectation. So if Dan did change, he would be a good person because of fear.But if Sarah changed, she changed because she believes it's wrong. So at the end Sarah would benefit from changing. But since Dan is so disobedient the mother has to give punishment.
@Mrcheney, I agree because i think it even worked because Mr.Chen was sweating and getting nervous i think but i wonder if he gets away with it but he still has a lot of punishment form his mom and i think he would get more from his dad.
ReplyDelete@ luigi
ReplyDeleteI think you're over exaggerating. They can't be that mad.
@Mario,Do you think he would actually listen to his mom and accept the punishments or do you think he would try to sneak away with it because his mom did sound stict.
ReplyDeleteMy parent would just maybe give me the silent treatment and wont make me sit in my room like I would get grounded.
ReplyDelete@ Jan 101
ReplyDeleteI think he would just sneak away with it. He seems like a guy that gets in trouble a lot. So he wouldn't listen to his mom.
@Mr. Cheney, I think it is very unfair. Mr. Chen might now not focus on what punishment this action deserves but how his punishment will impact the school because of Dan's mother. I think Chen's decision is going to be influenced.
ReplyDelete@Mario
ReplyDeleteShould we really stop in the fear of consequence, or the respect of our mother? I don't think Dan's mom acted very mature or responsible because she used her money and power to try and BUY advantages and buy out of the problem.
@ The Sauce boss I don't know why but from my perspective he was if i was in his shoes that what i mean
ReplyDelete@ buttercup
ReplyDeleteyes but she did punished him by grounding him and taking away his privileges.
I think Sarah's mom is being too dramatic and emotional. I mean talking about her personal life????????? and how her being a single parent might afect sarah's life and health........ what does that have to do with her daughter cheating on THE MID TERM QUIZ????I think Dan's mom kind of over reacted and went overboard about her son cheating maybe she was really shocked or just angry that she had to miss her appointment
ReplyDelete@nicole do you really think using your money and power to try and buy advantages and buy out of the problem is mature???? Don't you think his mom went a bit overboard about the whole "cheating" on their mid term test?
ReplyDelete@nicole don't you think she's a bit to agressive I mean getting all over the principal and saying that my child didn't cheat on the quiz etc.etc.etc
ReplyDelete@nicole good point about how Mr.chen's decision will be influenced I mean after all that agression from dan's mother that must have been tough for him to go through.
ReplyDelete@abeeshan
ReplyDeleteim not...
you can ask anyone
@Princess Peach,I agree she did defend Dan alot buy she was sing her power to handle to situation even through she gave a lot of punishment on dan too
ReplyDelete@mario
ReplyDeleteso you like the way sarahs mom talked to her?
@janat
ReplyDeletemaybe he would play, watch tv without her knowing. he might do that when his mom and dad are not home
@janat
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean by they are rich enough to play scary sports
@peach
ReplyDeleteshe didnt say dan didnt cheat, she said there was no evidence.
Have you ever heard the quote innocent untill proven guilty? she said they have no proof so for now he is innocent
@peach
ReplyDeletehow is talking about her own life dramatic?
@janat
ReplyDeletei dont think sarahs mom had a calm approach. sarahs mom never gave a moral, wasnt even talking about cheating, i dont think she even made a approach at all
dans mom and sarah mom reacted the the situation very differently then other parents would,they went very easy on them. sarahs mom is caring more on sarahs life and her health then her education, which are equaly important. for this reason sarah is taking an advantage of her disabilty that her father left them. also dans mother isnt shocked or ready to beleive that her son cheated on the mid-term test. as to the fact that sarahs mom promised her husband to take real good care of her daughter, and teaching her whats right and whats wrong to do counts as well, which she might not be understanding. there are chances of sarahs mom trying to save her daughters doings to go in the records( so sarah can get in a good school).
ReplyDelete~ my first reaction to sarahs moms discusion to mr.chen was.... woah! shes going way to easy on her girl like that, which i call dumb parenting, who would go dramatic about thier husband, when her daughter is in BIG TIME trouble FOR CHEATING ON THE MID-TEST!
~ my first reaction to dans moms discusion with mr.chen was yikes, for dan and thumbs up for dans mom. this is good parenting( sarahs mom got to leearn parenting from her), this can be dans first time getting in trouble for a big thing, thats why she is punishing, but but not that forcefully, staying a bit calm. if i was dans mom i would talk to him about this topic at any place no mater what the dislikes of dan may be. dans done something wrong well we need to talk about it( as in dans mom).
i definatley think that sarah isnt doing anything under the situation shes going through. she is takiing advantage of her disabilty. another thing i take back is thinking that dans mom is a factor. she doesnt seem to be a reason to be behaving like so(dans behaviour)
@ mr.cheney, i have a question:
ReplyDeletewhat if sarahs mom did that whole dramatic thing about her husband so sarah doesnt get a record of cheating( so mr.chen, takes/feels pity on them, and doesnt make a record on sarahs name? also as the conversation is going here on the blog, people are saying that sarhs mom promised her husband that she will take good care of her daughter, which doesnt really make sense to be (i dont think that would be a good excuse for sarah cheating.
@luigi taking about your life at the wrong timeis dramatic. if i got in trouble, and start talkingabout my personal life and what ive gn ethrough so i can get out of trouble, wouldnt you call that dramatic?
ReplyDelete@ sonali who would get angry for missing their appointment, then having a discusion about their son cheating? i wuld be more mad at my son cheating then worring about my appointment to be delayed or canceled due to terms. and you call that too aggressive, like wouldnt you get mad to hera that your son cheated on his mid-term test?
ReplyDelete@Princess Peach, no I do not say that was mature of her. I think you read my comment wrong. I do think she was a bit too aggressive(explained in my previous comments). Since Dan was so clam in the office, I think he's been there often. Knowing the history of your child, I don't think you should jump in like that. What would you do if your child was in a situation like this?
ReplyDelete@luigi
ReplyDeleteI say no because then Sarah can get away with anything.
can anyone please recap what the band people missed on the read a loud 2 days ago?
ReplyDeleteI think Dan's mom spoils Dan way too much, im starting to think that its the reason why Dan is so chill about everything and cocky when he could be taking it seriously, for example Rob, he probably has very strict parents and he isnt a calm person at all, or self-centred.
ReplyDelete@Mr.Cheney is dan's mom a lawyer? it seemed like it and i think i heard it somewhere..
I think sarah's mom needs to move on, because im assuming that sarah's dad left her a long time ago and if sarah's mom is still on that. Blaming the father for every problem is a little crazy, I dont think sarah's mom is a type of a person who will move on and not hold a grudge.
@nicole or sorry but ya Seeing Dan calm while waiting at the office kind of made me feel that he might have been there a lot of times but never did something as worse as cheating.
ReplyDelete@tulsi Dan's mother was upset that she had to miss her appointment because of something her son did ( cheat on the mid term quiz)and I think you read my comment wrong when I said agressive I meant that she started to yell at Mr.Chen and try to buy her way out of this situation since after all she is a volunteer at the school ( as mr.cheney said in one of his comments)
