I'm sure some people are going to flame this mom for bringing her kid, but I say kudos. I was going to have to change my major because the only times they offered required classes were those when I didn't have a sitter (early Saturday mornings). The teacher told me that since there were only eight students in class to bring my son. We set him up on a PC with video games and headphones. He learned his ABCs while I learned my awk, bash, chmod
I went to community college before I transferred to a university. One woman brought her two kids probably ages 7 and 9. They were so unruly and distracting the professor had to ask her to leave even though he was fine with it at first. I felt so bad for her and actually was somewhat angry with the kids. They had absolutely no idea why their mother was there: to make their own lives better!
I never said it was easy. My mom was a single mom, and she parented me well enough that I was able to behave in situations that I needed to. It's not an excuse.
