[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if OP is overreacting and her DC is not exactly following procedures.....this seems like the time for the teacher to set up a meeting to help both child and parent understand what the missing link is. This will make kid accountable to parent and parent will see that the teacher has outlined everything to both parent/kid.[/quote]

Are you using not following procedures as a euphemism for cheating, or do you not understand what we teachers are saying is likely going on?

I'm saying a meeting is now needed where teacher sits down with the parent and the student.  If the kid is cheating or not being honest with the parent, the meeting will make this clear and the parent will need to back off.

If, on the other hand, the teacher hasn't communicated effectively to the student on what exactly is missing - the meeting will accomplish this (and the parent will also understand and make sure the student can follow the rules).

I know everyone wants kids to be independent, but clearly in this case, something is missing.  Either the kid is lying to the parent or the kid doesn't understand the rules and while the OP wants to blame the teacher - I think it's probably more likely the kid - but even if it's the teacher - it's time for everyone to meet (with good intentions and no finger pointing) and iron out the details so that this kid can move forward.
