[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry.  This is dumb.  How is the teacher to know what a high school kid's work habits are?

Not turning in homework?  Not paying attention in class?  Is this what they mean?  
If it is a problem in class, then it deserves a comment--not a check in a box.

[b]My two kids have very different work habits.  DD comes home and gets it done.  DS requires constant reminders.  How is the teacher to know that?[/b]

I taught elementary school kids.  Even there, it deserves a comment if it is a problem.  Not a checked box.[/quote]

We see that mirrored in class too.  When given 15 minutes to read a passage/work on a problem set/start their homework, some kids dive in and some need constant reminders to stay on task. When an assignment is due, some kids turn it in unprompted and some need 3-4 reminders.

But i feel like this is generally communicated through SIS by entering missing/late work in a timely manner, and the teachers who don't do that won't be taking these comment codes seriously either.[/quote]
