[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m at the end of my rope with DD13, who is currently failing her ELA class, not due to an inability to understand the work, but because of missing assignments. She refuses to turn in her assignments. This was a problem last semester and she made an effort to correct the issue, but she’s fallen back into her old bad habits.

Before TG break we checked the portal and nothing was missing; we would have had her work on it over break. Today I look and she’s missing nearly every assignment and is currently failing the class.

I don’t know what to do that will WORK! Please help! What worked for you? What do you think will work for me?[/quote]

Can you try again to explain clearly what's happening?
I know it's difficult because Canvas and Synergy are hot garbage, but we can't log in an investigate your account, so you need to find the info and lay it out.

How can nothing be missing before the weekend, and nearly everything missing immediately afterward? [/quote]

Not the PP, but I’ve seen this happen. Teachers set up an assignment in Synergy, and it’s like a container: exit ticket from class on 11/20, worth 20 points, weighted 90%. But they grade the assignments over in Canvas, where they were originally submitted.

Until the teacher grades a student’s assignment and syncs the Canvas grades over to Synergy, that dummy “container” remains empty during the grading process. It’s basically a placeholder. Sometimes the student can tell from Canvas that they’ve turned it in, but it depends on how the assignment was submitted.

But since MCPS is still currently giving 50% for missing assignments, a zero tells you that the empty container is empty because the teacher is still grading and/or attempting to sync the Canvas grades. Once they’ve finished grading everything they have in hand and completed the sync, that zero for the 20-point exit ticket should turn into a 10/20 if it’s still missing at that point.

So yeah, hot garbage. [/quote]
