[quote=Anonymous]I am a middle school teacher not in the DC area. That response from the guidance counselor is not acceptable. You should definitely be able to meet with him or her, and I would encourage you to meet with his core teachers as well – math, English, social studies, science.

What frustrates me when I have since were not doing well and parents reach out is when they message me and just ask, why is David doing badly in your class? I am very active on our online system, and normally the kids who are not performing well simply have not handed in projects and homework. They have zeros for it. I put a lot of instructions online as well as the tasks and I'm very available – I would say I probably reply to parents, on average, within a few hours.

i'm only saying this so when you do reach out and have a meeting with them, focus on information that is not already available. Do you review the grades with your child? what does he say? teachers might have some insight as to whether it's more of a core academic issue or if it's a struggle with organization.[/quote]
