I could have thrown a hissy fit last week when one of my first grade students told me his mom was going to write his homework project for him because he was too busy (and I gave them a full week to write the single-paragraph project!). At least it came back in his own handwriting. When I was working as an aide, a paper was very obviously written by a parent and was not even close to the students's own work or handwriting. This third grade boy said, "My mom said to tell you that my handwriting changes when my mood changes!" He definitely ratted mom out on that one.
