[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a 7th grader who is learning to take ownership of organization and executive function duties. We do not know that kid has missed an assignment until a WS appears in Aspen. If kid were not able to turn these assignments in later, kid would just be screwed. (School is not coaching kid on these skills.) Kid does not have trouble with the actual material, and grades are fine once the assignments actually get turned in. Count me as a vote in favor of a system that lets a 13-year-old figure this out without kneecapping their high school lottery opportunities. [/quote]

That's my issue now. The quarter ends today, and my kid's teachers waited until Monday to start dumping grades in Aspen from before winter break. Now there are all these missing assignments that we had no clue about. It's nerve wracking, because everything seemed to be in order for the lottery up until this week. They still haven't sent off recommendations, so I'm trying to tread lightly.  [/quote]

I can one up this - my kid is at walls - one of the teachers dumped a ton of grades into aspen tonight - including a test from 6 weeks ago. He apparently failed the test, kid cannot even remember taking it. Like we would have taken some action if we had known he was FAILING 6 weeks ago - but now the marking period is over.[/quote]

Very frustrating! He failed the test or both the test and the course?[/quote]
