DD8's teacher emailed us to say that we need to get together and talk about how to get her organized because she keeps leaving things at home and can't do the work at school. Now, she does leave stuff at school so that she can't do the work at home, but the binder full of folders in question is always in her backpack when she goes to school, so I know she's just being lazy, and I told the teacher that. But I told DD that she needs to take her binder out of her backpack and put it in her desk each day, and she said there's no room.

I asked what's in her desk that everyone else doesn't have, and she said she has three library books. I asked why she has three library books in her desk.

She said "because there's no room for more!"
