[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 1 middle school IEP kid and it has been a pretty okay year, I am not complaining.  I have had to help my kid make sure their assignments were in A LOT, as in several times a week, because they just never had to deal with this kind of thing before.  Things that go wrong are:  kid turns assignment in in a file format that teacher can't read (not sure why this is possible, but it is); kid misunderstood assignment and teacher grades it with comments that only half is done (but if kid never reads these comments they don't realize they didn't complete it); kit never actually turned assignment in or never started assignment because they didn't realize it was due; kid turned assignment in by sharing it in a shared folder instead of through Canvas but teacher forgot and need to be reminded to grade it; etc. -- there are about 5 other scenarios  that have happened to us a bunch this year.

If I wasn't checking my middle schooler's Canvas or my ParentVue, the kid would not be aware of any of this.  Part of my mission this year has been to try to teach them to check their recent activity for teacher grading comments to see whether they need to follow up on anything (I think I've succeeded at this) and also get them to check the grade application on their iPad to see when a teacher says an assignment is missing or incomplete (less successful at this).

But even with all these issues for my IEP kid, I'm not blaming APS for the trouble kid has been having and I'm not angry at APS for making things like this.  My understanding is that Canvas is actually a lot easier now that it has been even a few years ago and I'm grateful for that.  Our teachers have been pretty understanding and I'm grateful for that also.  I have NOT had a situation where I have reached out to a teacher and teacher has never responded or has laughed off a request from us.  That sucks and I don't know what to tell you.  I might want to complain to someone higher up, but at the same time I could also understand just being DONE with this year and ready for the summer.

intervene a bunch though and without me doublechecking, kid would not be turning in assignments left and right and would be getting some zeroes.  [/quote]

Sounds about right to me![/quote]
