That said, though, as a mom to an 8th grader and 5th grader, I've found that more engaged teachers provide more valuable comments - teachers whose insight into your student's performance is "could do better" could stand to be a little less lazy themselves. Also? I love the statement that "lazy is a choice, dumb is not" - I now have a new weapon against the "I can't do my homework because I'm so stuuuuuupid" routine ("sit your butt in the chair and do it" was getting old).

In my humble opinion they should know that you expect nothing less than their 100% best effort. If give it all and still fall short, love them for trying. Nip.
