[quote=Anonymous]Is your child in HS.

Assuming she is... she is only responsible for "necessary" work.

The school is also only responsible for "necessary" information. So anything that does not build on itself, you child most likely will not learn. For example, if there were in the middle of reading a book, she will just start again with the next book.

It is frustrating. Nobody will track the assignments for you.

Meet with each teacher and request a list of everything your child missed. Then mark each assignment "necessary" or "excused".

For the necessary, you child will need to meet with the teacher after school to get up to speed.

My son just quit his sport for the rest of the season (which is unreasonable, in my opinion... because really these kids need an outlet, especially dealing with a concussion)

In addition to doing all the new work... he spent 2 weeks getting caught up in Math, 2 in Science, English was just books and papers so most was just excused, History... the teacher spent a week after school quickly going over what he missed, but it did not build on itself so we just let it go.

All in all, after he was cleared to return to school full time it took about 2 months to catch up.

It sucks, no doubt. [/quote]
