[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have YOUR SON email the admin(you can of course help him) He deserves the A-that is definite and the teacher should have caught the fact he was absent and sick.[b] He turned it in the next possible time he was in school.[/b] All legit for no points take off for being late.

However in HS, teacher really want to see kids advocate for themselves. Heck even in MS it is great practice. It was a crazy end of year andhe was sick, just explain to him that the email should come from him, help him out and he can also cc you on the email to the admin.

He didn't, though.  He turned it in two days after he came back.  "Block scheduling" is not an excuse for this.  He should have turned it in the day he returned.  For middle school, I am sure he could have found time to drop it off in her classroom, and even if he couldn't do this during lunch or between classes, he could have asked another teacher for permission to take it during the last 5 minutes of a class.  There is no way this boy was completely unable to drop off the paper the day he returned.  No middle school teacher would have refused him permission to deliver his paper at the end of their own class period, or he could even have asked another teacher to give the paper to the English teacher, OR he could have emailed the paper to his English teacher, either as a Word doc or a scan.  A kid who takes two days and blames his schedule just doesn't care enough to get the work turned in on time.  [/quote]
