Old school: One child, two parents

Written on September 3, 2010 by David C. Sarnacki

The Associated Press reported on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg speech at a Colorado judicial conference. She commented on parenting a spirited child.

Kristen Wyatt writes (excerpt):
Ginsburg told a humorous story about having a young son while teaching law school at Columbia University in New York. When her rambunctious boy acted up in class, she would get frequent calls from his school.

“One day, I was particularly wary, and I said, ‘This child has two parents. I suggest you alternate calls,’” Ginsburg said. After that, she recalled, the school called less often — more hesitant to disturb a man at work than to disturb a woman at work.
