Why didn't Stacey want to be in Mama's class?

Mamma is very demanding, especially to her own kids. TJ,also in the same class, causes problems for him.

The answer is quite simple if you really think about it. Stacey is 12, his friends are in his class........... if you were Stacey, would you want your mom to be your teacher? Do you think you'd get teased? Would your mother be easier on you than the other children? Or would she be harder on you? That's a lot to think about, but I get it!
