Parents' involvement is essential in helping teens do well in school. Moms and dads need to stay informed, offer support, and give guidance.

Doing these will make a big difference in their children's academic success, even as the young ones seek more independence. Unfortunately, some parents think that the teachers are to blame whenever their teens fail at school.

And this one entitled parent, in particular, doesn't want to pay her daughter's fees because the teenager failed her exams. This story was shared by a tutor who works at her university on r/entitledparents.

According to the original poster (OP), there's one student who finds it challenging to grasp basic Algebra concepts. This teenager struggled the whole semester and when she approaches the OP, she attempts to squeeze out the answers to her assignments from her tutor.

Before the final exam, the OP decided to host a study group to cover the basic concepts. But the said student didn't show any interest.

She was either using her phone or talking with her classmates. The day of the exam came, and as expected she failed.

Her mother ultimately decided to enroll her in a community college. The problem is this entitled parent thinks it's the school's fault that her daughter failed.

Now, she wants to sue the university for the $13,000 she still owes them.

The one who shared the story is the negligent student's tutor.

They observed that the student is struggling with the fundamental concepts of Algebra. She doesn't make an effort to answer her assignments either.

In the end, the student failed. She was transferred to a community college, but not without issue.

The mom still owes the school and she threatens to sue. Clearly, she doesn't want to pay the money she owes anymore.

Redditors are so eager to hear about the updates of the OP's story. They want to see the mother's reaction.

A user believes she can be sued for theft of services because she doesn't intend to pay for the service her daughter already received.

People are wondering if the payment has been made.

Some users are expressing their interest to hire the OP as a math tutor.

Apparently, this issue isn't new. Another tutor confirms that entitled parents like the mom in this story are common.

Even the other tutors are complaining about the entitled mother.

Redditor creates a mathematical equation calculating the entitled mother's IQ.

It's unbelievable how parents can be this entitled. They need to realize that part of their responsibilities is to encourage their children to study well.

But instead of looking at what went wrong, they'd rather blame the school after they see their children fail at academics. This entitled parent's behavior is unacceptable and sets a poor example for her child.

It's always up to the parents to take ownership of their children's education and provide them with the support they need to succeed. They need to be able to determine what's keeping their children from making progress in learning and find solutions with the help of educators.
