[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a set of extra text books for home.
Allow for online assingments & lectures.

Let students work at their own pace...giving a chronically absent student a pile of missed work will do NOTHING but overwhelm them & cause them to fall even farther behind.

Give extra credit assingments to help make up for particiption points!
Give incompletes instead of "F's" so that they can achieve a grade when they earn it. How ever long it may take thetm.[/quote]

It would seem that a child would do far better with having a teacher at home than to expect an in-school teacher to accommodate one student who has such specialized needs.  Expected typed notes alone would be burdensome for some teachers who handwrite.  Expecting individualized extra credit assignments and incompletes when "f's may be earned is just not really right, fair, etc.[/quote]

While I understand what you are saying, in fact, schools are required by law to do just these types of accomodations to level the playing field for a disabled child. Every kid has the right to attend school-despite the "hassle" it may cause teachers and administration.[/quote]
