I guess I should ask the school what the standards are for HW.

I had issues with the teacher....mostly from a comment on a test admonishing my DD to study harder. The test was the day after major surgery when I was in the ICU.

Can't expect teacher to read your mind. Did teacher know this when child took test?

Teacher was informed in advance. I had several emails with the teacher in advance, and met with her before I went into the hospital to ensure there was an understanding, mostly with a means to get my DD info when everything was done (and hopefully OK).

If any of my DCs got a 1 because they missed 2 homework assignments, I wouldn't care. At this point these numbers mean nothing. As long as DCs are doing well on the tests, they are doing just fine. Also, if a teacher would write a note on the test knowing all the details, I would make it clear to my child that in life you will meet people who are difficult and the teacher is one of them, and while you have to treat her with respect because she is your teacher, you don't have to agree with or respect her opinion. There are unpleasant people in all professions, including teaching.
