[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All semester long one of my son’s classes was showing 0 missing assignments and to his knowledge he didn’t have any missing. Today(!) all of a sudden he is showing 1 missing. He is annoyed and so am I. He still has an A but this last minute grading and catching up can mess up some kids.  [/quote]

It'd almost as like your son should have know what his assignments were prior to the end of the semester.

Yeah, stop blaming everyone else when you really need to be looking in a mirror. [/quote]

Are you this nasty in real life or do you just like to be mean to strangers online?[/quote]

The message came across as nasty, but I agree with the previous poster.  We cannot blame everything on teachers.  We need to teach our kids how to be proactive if they're really grade conscious.  My son has developed the habit of checking his Canvas every week to see which ones are marked as not submitted.  I also check Parent Vue every week to see which work has not been graded, and I counter check it with my son's Canvas to make sure that he indeed submitted the work.  Never had the problem of last-minute notification of missing assignment.

NP. You don't seem to understand that many teachers do not enter missing assignments and they don't propagate from Canvas if they are not Canvas assignments. The status of the assignment is "not graded" so a child will think they turned it in and the assignment will show up as missing only AFTER the teacher has gone through and graded everything.

This happened to DC last quarter for a class and it brought their grade down from an A to a B. This is a teacher who is completely disorganized herself and graded about 20 assignments the last day. DC swore they turned that assignment in but it was still marked missing and they had no recourse at that point since the grade was locked.[/quote]
