Mom Makes Teen Stand on Street With Sign
By Marc • Nov 17th, 2005 • Category: the WeirdoI think this is awesome. Too many parents it seems don’t take a real vested interest in their kids. They need to be more involved and concerned. It might not be the best thing, but at least this mom is doing something more than just frowning. Kudos to Ms. Henderson!
“EDMOND, Okla. – Tasha Henderson got tired of her 14-year-old daughter’s poor grades, her chronic lateness to class and her talking back to her teachers, so she decided to teach the girl a lesson.
She made Coretha stand at a busy Oklahoma City intersection Nov. 4 with a cardboard sign that read: ‘I don’t do my homework and I act up in school, so my parents are preparing me for my future. Will work for food.’”
And by the way, if it happens to be 2020 or something like that as you read this and you happen to be my son or daughter. Know that this could be you!
