Speaking from personal experience as a teacher, I've just got to say..."Hee-YA RIGHT! Like THAT's gonna happen."
Seriously though, the mom's expectations (in terms of the school keeping an eye on her daughter) are just unrealistic. It just sounds like she's facing what every parent eventually faces...the reality that her kid is starting to think about (and sometimes, to have) sex.
