I cannot even begin to explain how much it irritates me when people do their kids' homework for them.

It depends, with me, on whether or not I like the kids involved.

I like this kid a lot, actually. She has real promise as a human being. And her mom and grandparents do her homework for her...It bothers me so much. She's not learning anything. And I think about all the work I put into my own education...it pisses me off to see someone not doing their own work. I'm very forgiving of a lot of underhanded actions, but cheating at schoolwork is not now, has never been, and never will be one of them. Do your own damn work. And her family is fucking her up in the long run by doing it for her. I had to do summer reading and book reports on top of swimming 8 hours a day when I was a kid. This girl's a gymnast; is it any different?

Yeah, I'm a narc when it comes to this. And I make no apologies for it.

You could always insist on some work to be done in school. If you're there no one can do it for her.

I don't work for a school.

I work at a leasing company with this girl's mother and grandmother. Between school in the morning and gymnastics in the evening, she's in my office. And her grandmother does her homework for her instead of working. We don't really have a workload right now to speak of, and I'm far from swamped (as evidenced by the amount of time I spend online). But that's not what bugs me to begin with.

As as the girl's mom is my boss, and I've only been here two months....I don't think I should speak up yet.

Have you conisidered killing the parents, in this instance?

If only her mom weren't my boss....
