[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Email the teacher and cc the department head (resource teacher). Request a meeting with both ASAP (before Thanksgiving), to review what happened in 1st quarter and understand what will be coming up in 2nd Qtr. Frame it from the perspective of helping you daughter understand the course requirements and how to earn a better grade. In the process, the resource teacher will see what has happened and will either clarify to you and your daughter, or give guidance to the teacher. Be sure to walk out of the meeting with a clear, documented plan for what the teacher will do, what your daughter will do, and when everyone will check in to see that plan is going well.

If the problem really is the teacher, the RT knows that already. It’s not helpful to try to pin blame or backtrack to what should’ve happened in 1st Qtr. If you stick to the framing of what your DD needs to do to be successful and document it in detail, as long as she meets her end of the bargain, she’ll get the grades she earns. (Because RT will know that admin/principal will hear about it otherwise.)[/quote]

This is really good advice.[/quote]
