So you ...Marianne you know what I do for a living. So you know how much I love society and how committed I am to assisting them in EVERY thing they do, i.e., telling Johnny to stop pummeling his sister over the playstation controller;explaining to them that judges frown on people driving on suspended licenses and yes, you really do need car insurance, it's really not a suggestion;my favorite is a parent pointing at me while with their child telling them I will get them if they're bad....this happens more often than not. Anyhew, I thought I'd continue to assist the targeted parents who have to be bribed to be involved in their cute as a button children's education. Since they're probably to busy to see what their newly awarded gift card will buy, I searched the Internet for them. Maybe we can additionally reward them with free rides to the schools to attend the conferences and clean their homes while they're away too. <br /> 3 Suave Shampoos<br />· 3 Suave Conditioners<br />· 2 Colgate Advanced Toothpaste<br />· 2 Reach Toothbrush<br />· 1 Bayer Aspirin<br />· 5 Mitchum Deodorants<br />· 4 Energy Candies<br />· 1 Oral-B Pro-Health Toothbrush<br />· 4 Nabisco Cookies<br />· 2 EOS Ultra Shave Cream<br />· 2 Desitin<br />· 1 U by Kotex Tampons<br />· 1 Listerine Ultra Clean Mouthwash<br />· 2 EOS Lip Balm<br />· 2 Dentek Floss Piks<br />· 1 Pencil Sharpener<br />· 2 Accu-Check Nano Blood Glucose Monitor<br />· 3 All Laundry Detergent<br />· 1 2 Pocket Folder<br />· 1 Carmex Healing Cream<br />· 1 Walgreens Tampons<br />· 2 Bic Twin Shavers<br />· 1 Lanacane w/ Aloe Spray<br />· 1 Lipton Tea<br />· 1 Renew Life Day Diet Start<br />· 1 Fishing Pole Clearance item<br /><br />So there....I'm hoping the leaders of our great city offer me a gift card for cutting my grass or shoveling my snow.

Wow. I really can't believe that they will offer such a bribe (maybe incentive??) to get parents to attend parent/teacher conferences. Wow. It is sad that parents wouldn't want to just automatically go to them (I attended every single one even though I knew 99.9% of the time it was not going to be a good conference).
