[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I would gather that the teacher was incompetent by misleading the parent by not informing them of missing assignments or letting the parent know that the kid had some issues in math. The kid is still a kid and the parent was under the impression that all was well after relying on the conference with the teacher.[/quote]

That was my intention, yes.

He hasn't displayed any of these issues elsewhere, and the one actual piece of classwork he brought home was his math workbook, which does not have any grades written in it but which appears to be both correct and complete (showing his work and understanding everything perfectly). His homework - which apparently they don't grade - has also been excellent, both for math and ELA; I've watched him do his math homework and he's completed it quickly and easily.

I'm still trying to get my hands on the actual graded work this is all based on, but my best guess at the moment is that it's an executive function problem that got out of hand. He genuinely didn't know he had any work missing, and he only recalls one graded assignment that was not an "excellent," so somehow either they didn't make an effort to make him aware of his missing / incomplete work, or they did make him aware of it, he didn't do it anyway, and at that point rather than bringing me into it they simply gave up.[/quote]
