[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So yesterday after reading this thread, I went into Canvas for the first time ever with my HS freshman's passcode. I found 4 assignments he said he didn't know about. I found unopened "announcements" from all the teachers giving instructions, etc. some months old. As of tomorrow he should finally be caught up after working non-stop this asynchronous week. I wish I had been monitoring Canvas more, but at the same time, he's old enough to figure it out. I'm not sure what the answer is.[/quote]

I bet the answer is that now that he knows you’re checking, he’ll do the work! 😀[/quote]

It is amazing how the people here refuse to even entertain the notion that there is any possibility of any degree of fault on APS' side.  It's all 100+% the bad parents' irresponsible kids (unless they have a disability, then apparently it's excusable.) Clearly you all have perfect children. Give others a break.[/quote]

What thread have YOU been reading?  Plenty of people in here were sympathetic to the mom whose kid skipped 30 assignments but didn't get informed by a teacher and weren't given any advice by them re how to help.  Some were NOT sympatheric when the parent said they hadn't checked Parentvue all semester -- and admittedly, if you're looking for things to do to help your kid, that's a relatively easy thing that parents at our school were told to do from Back to School night on, with emails from APS about checking up in parentvue throughout the year.

As far as your reaction to this other parent, I don't think this parent is being given a very hard time on this board or being called a "bad parent" anywhere.  Have I missed something?  This parent went in and checked and got their kid on task before grades are final.  This also wasn't as dire a situation as the kid with 30 missing assignments, as this other kid was only missing 4 and unless they are all from the same class that's probably not going to be the difference between a pass and a fail, though 2 assignments could be the difference between an A and a C.

Are four missing assignments the fault of APS?  For a ninth grader?  I mean, Canvas could be easier, so I guess a little, but everybody has had to stretch a bit during this weird year.  [/quote]
