Poor student forced to stand on corner
Okla. mother makes daughter wear sign telling motorists about bad grades
EDMOND, Okla. - Tasha Henderson got tired of her 14-year-old daughter’s poor grades, her chronic lateness to class and her talking back to her teachers, so she decided to teach the girl a lesson.
She made Coretha stand at a busy Oklahoma City intersection Nov. 4 with a cardboard sign that read: “I don’t do my homework and I act up in school, so my parents are preparing me for my future. Will work for food.”
“This may not work. I’m not a professional,” said Henderson, a 34-year-old mother of three. “But I felt I owed it to my child to at least try.”
How is that "VFU" (don't make up acronyms)? She is being punished, she's not actually going to go and work for food. Sure it won't be effective, but neither is being grounded.

that is a hell of a lot better than most parents. most parents would just take something away, or ground them, or try to control them in some hardcore way. I think that is really creative and will probably make the kid think beyond their daily bullshit and think about their actions. I give that lady two thumbs up. Personally I think something a little more constructive would be better, but I'm sure the girl will improve.
