Scarlett took a shower while I cooked dinner.  

She sat at the table, hair washed and uncombed, and informed me "Oh by the way! Our chorus concert is tonight!"

"What?"

"Mom, I gave you the blue paper to sign the other day!"

"Um. No, you didn't."

"I didn't?"

"So what time is the concert?"

"Seven."

I look at the clock, it's 6:55. 

"Oh well."

"But it's a hundred points! My final grade!"

"That's too bad. Isn't it?"

At some point kids have to learn responsibility for their own actions or inactions. How longhas she had to tell you about this concert and how long has she known wha part of her grade this would count? This is a tough but very necessary lesson for her to learn.

I doubt she knew about the date or time before Monday. On the school's website the concert is still listed as "date to be announced".

WTF? Seems like they are not exactly setting a good example!

They're setting a HORRIBLE example. They haven't followed her Independent Education Plan at all this year, and I've never had a satisfactory exchange of words with her chorus teacher.
