[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a parent of a middle school student and a high school student.  I have literally NEVER checked their work online for missing assignments.  I look at their interim reports and their report cards.  If the grades are low, there are consequences at home (e.g. losing phone privileges).

By middle school this should be the kid’s responsibility.  If my kids ask me for help or advice of course I do my best, but it’s actually not my job to manage their day to day homework load.  And it’s not their teacher’s job, either.[/quote]

Sorry but not all kids are as perfect as yours.  [/quote]

The PP wrote that if grades are low, there are consequences. That alone suggests PP’s kids aren’t perfect.

I agree with the PP’s approach. Ultimately, her kids will be just fine because they are learning responsibility and accountability. This is similar to how I treat my own kids’ grades. It’s their responsibility to stay on top of them. (And no, my kids aren’t perfect.)

I teach high school seniors, and I regularly receive emails from parents requesting assignment extensions, extra credit, etc. My cut-and-paste response now is that they should have their child reach out to me first.
