[quote=Anonymous]I teach HS and I can tell you I received an email from parents over the weekend about this exact issue and it blew me away. It just showed such exemplary parenting.

First, it acknowledged that I and CC'd colleagues are doing amazing and they so appreciate what we have done to help atudent succeed but they have implemented some new things at home they want us to know about. This includes SPECIFIC requirements around getting work done and turning completed assignments with specific consequences if that does not happen.  They also said they do not hold us responsible as this is a recurring habit they have let linger too long. They simply asked we support them in holding student accountable and thanked us again for our work.

Simply put, they intervened, held their student accountable, let us know what will happen if certain expectations are not met, and thanked us for our work to help student be successful. Ended with saying everyone else has done their part and now student has to do theirs.

Do something like this/ talk to your kid, make them aware what you expect and what will specifically happen if they don't do it and loop in the teachers.  [/quote]
