[quote=Anonymous]&lt;&lt;his English teacher emailed me and said that he has not turned any homework in at all. When she questioned him, he said something about being too busy taking care of his pet and starting dinner. &gt;&gt;

PP -- w all due respect -- if the English teacher, who has perhaps five classes of 20 plus students a day, is taking time to email the parent beacuse the student hoas not turned in any homework at all during the first two weeks of school -- and the kid is giving some bogus excuse to the teacher about not having time for homework because he has to feed his lizard -- the parent is supposed to just tell the teacher to chillax???

I know from experience. The instinct to paper off these things as &quot;no biggie'' or age-appropriate may make the problem go away -- or it may just get worse as they get older.

It certainly can't hurt anyone to set up a system to help the child do better with their homework. I think not turning in assignments for two weeks is not insignificant.[/quote]
