Another lovely parent meeting

You remember Fred 4, right?  The one who hates me?  The one I wrote up a couple of weeks ago?  Today, F4's mom sends me an email wanting to meet with me before final exams (which are Wednesday).  I agree to meet with her this afternoon.  Now, I already knew what she was going to ask.  I knew she would try to get me to drop the write-up so her child wouldn't have to take exams.  But, I think it is so pathetic that a parent cares more about her child's GPA than about her child's character.  Basically, she asked if I would take back the write-up.  I told her no.  Then she says that the reason she is asking is because her child has never had to take a final exam before.  I told her I was sure F4 would have no problem passing the final.  Then she tells me that she's worried it might bring down her GPA.  I then explained what happened when F4 got written up and what has been happening everyday since about Thanksgiving.  Apparently, the rudeness, smart mouth, bad attitude aren't any concern to mom.  She's not even worried about her child passing.  She's just worried about keeping that high A. Finally, after realizing I was not going to change the rules for her, she says that her daughter asked her to come in and try.  I think if my son treated his teacher the way F4 treats me, the first thing I would have done before begging for exemption would be to have my son apologize to his teacher, then try to wriggle out of final exams.  It was all I could do not to just stand up and shout "Oh my God, people!" and walk out of the meeting.  I know, I know, just a few days left.  Tomorrow seniors take exams and Wednesday everyone else does.  Get me through the week, Lord!
