5. My child is fine, I don't need to hear the teacher tell me what I already know.
6. They have this every year, it's so boring. (this is when you learn)
7. I have to watch my favorite show or game. (it can wait DVR it)
8. I'm a single parent, this is one more extra thing, I'm not going. (invest the time)
