Royal, are you seriously concerned about "how many books our kids have to carry around?" Its because of people like you that our kids sit around on their fat asses instead of going outside to play like kids should do. Kids should haul books around, it increases weight and therefore hopefully will build a little muscle mass. If kids "forget", it is probably out of convenience and a smack on the butt and taking away the wii forever will corect the problem. I am 43, and kids are still kids. I wouldn't have dreamed about complaining about the number of books I had to carry because it would have fallen on deaf ears at home and if I "forgot" a handout, my mother would have take a belt to my ass. Stop making excuses, take the side of the teacher for a change since he/she is the one who has to deal with your kid, send your kid outside to play, sit him/her down to study every night, throw away the Methylphenidate and take out the belt. You will be amazed at the difference in your childs behavior.
