[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]
That’s all good unless your kid has a learning or executive function disability.

I understand teachers are overworked.  I wish there was a way to give them more planning time.

More than once my kid (with 504) forgot to put name on a paper, took 3 weeks for grade to get posted.  Kid gets a zero and teacher says “too bad it’s been 3 weeks”.   [/quote]

I’m the PP you are quoting, and one of my own children has a 504. That doesn’t mean I think she can do less. She has learned, with my help, how to work with her learning differences. I do not fight her fights, and she is doing quite well.

Regarding your anecdote: did your -child- kindly write an email explaining that situation, requesting to turn it in since the mistake was immediately noticed once the grade went in? Most teachers are extremely reasonable.[/quote]
