Now we call them Oral Presentations, and my kids are protesting that I'm committing torture in having them present, using their self-created PowerPoints to their peers and possibly some parents! <br /><br />At least you guys try with your parenting. The Cambodian way seems to send the stubborn child or child who has made you angry away to stay with a relative who won't put up with their nonsense! And yes, this is Christian parents. I think it's cultural.KarenKTeachCambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360213423837201954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-57687137214272330792010-05-17T19:12:03.676+09:002010-05-17T19:12:03.676+09:00Good to see you again Anika.
