I got a real kick out of Jason Flom's blog post, A Teacher's Field Guide to Parents, over at the Ecology of Education site. Recognize any of these parent types?

• Burger King parents.  They want it their way, and right now!
• Chicken Little parents.  "The sky is falling, the sky is falling."
• Flintstone parents.  "Well, back when I was in this grade, the way that teacher did it was... "
• Grass-is-greener parents:  "Oh my, Mrs. Johnson does it much differently than you do..."
• Barometer parents:  Knows the feelings of all of the other parents in the class.
• Perfectionist parents:  There's always something they can find for you to do... just a little bit better.
• Bueller parents:  What parents?

Jason describes each category in funny detail, and I think you'll laugh along with him as you spot these parent types in your own life.

Check 'er out; cool read.

What do you think?

Recognize any of these types?

Care to add any others?
