[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  The mischief comes from the overwork on everybody's part and then the inevitable breakdown when the various homework tracking methods do not sync up well or at all.  This problem doesn't emerge right away but it will: if every assignment has to be tracked in three places, they will not sync up and then the emails or phone calls to clarify will add to everybody's workload.  The point is that the child should have a single, ultra-reliable source of info on what the assignments are and when they are due.  If that single source is paper, then the child can be in complete control.[/quote]

I'm a Deal parent with a 7th grader and I'm not sure it's a reasonable expectation that all three methods should be aligned at all times.  The single reliable source is what's happening in the classroom and the information your child gets directly from the teacher.  The responsibility really lies with your child to get the assignments in class and write that in their planner and complete the assignment on time.  Edline is more of a backup resource  for tracking homework or getting assignments.    [/quote]
