This is/was my worst nightmare as a kid growing up in my parents' home.  ANYTIME, I would get in trouble at school, my mom's go-to threat was, "Do you want me to sit next to you in class?  I will!"

The thought of that humiliation was enough. It would be enough today. I am mortified just imagining that woman sitting next to me in the studio demanding I cut back on the antics.

Anyway, a British mother made good on her threat, joining her badly behaved son in math class.  Detentions, isolations, phone calls-NOTHING-altered Harley Crandley's attitude, so mom Becky went through with her own correction plan (with the school's help).

She strolled into class and took a seat next to her 12-year-old on Friday afternoon. "He didn't have a clue, and he was very embarrassed for sure, I was introduced as his mum."

What do you want to bet this kid's behavior in class improves IMMEDIATELY!
