[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All semester long one of my son’s classes was showing 0 missing assignments and to his knowledge he didn’t have any missing. Today(!) all of a sudden he is showing 1 missing. He is annoyed and so am I. He still has an A but this last minute grading and catching up can mess up some kids.  [/quote]

It'd almost as like your son should have know what his assignments were prior to the end of the semester.

Yeah, stop blaming everyone else when you really need to be looking in a mirror. [/quote]

Are you this nasty in real life or do you just like to be mean to strangers online?[/quote]

The message came across as nasty, but I agree with the previous poster.  We cannot blame everything on teachers.  We need to teach our kids how to be proactive if they're really grade conscious.  My son has developed the habit of checking his Canvas every week to see which ones are marked as not submitted.  I also check Parent Vue every week to see which work has not been graded, and I counter check it with my son's Canvas to make sure that he indeed submitted the work.  Never had the problem of last-minute notification of missing assignment.

This assumes that a lot of teachers communicate in advance and run clear, organized and updated Canvas pages. I assure you thi sis not the case.

Stop defaulting to always assuming the teachers are blameless. A lot of teachers struggle or fail to offer insights and tools to allow students and parents to plan and manage without them.[/quote]

Where did you read that "teachers are blameless?"  My point was we cannot blame EVERYTHING on teachers.  Like majority of people, the better you communicate, the better you'll get a response.  If the style of communication you use with the teachers is the same style of communication you have on this forum, then I'm not surprised why your experience with communicating with teachers is not positive.
