The Great Grade Debate: Parenting Edition! 👨👧
Looks like we've got ourselves a good old-fashioned family feud! On one side, we have the strict teacher, Mr. Cat, laying down the law with his iron-clad assignment deadlines.

The stakes are high, the emotions are running wild, and the internet is about to weigh in! Let's see what the digital peanut gallery has to say about this academic soap opera!
