[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  DS tried to hand something in a day early (which is allowed and encouraged).  She said he needed the rubric.  He went to get it from his desk and she said no, hand it in tomorrow.  The next day he mistakenly left it home (he was showing his dad the work) and she took a grade off his project for being late to hand it in, even though she knew he had done it and we brought it to the school right after school.  The guidance counselor fixed things.   Next he had a test right after missing some days due to shadowing.  He missed some of the material and tried to see her to get help.  She was always busy giving kids tests before school and during lunch, and never available after school to help him with the material.  Then she went out of her way to send me emails about the days he was out and how he did not miss the material...she spent a lot of time with the emails...why can't she help my kid?  My son is a straight A student...forgetful sometimes, but sweet and well liked by all the other teachers and administrators.[/quote]

I think if he was going to be pulled out of school for shadowing, he should've done his work in advance or talked to her about whether or not there would be late penalties.

The late penalties seem reasonable.

I think either your or your kid or both of you are expecting everyone to accommodate his move to a new school and maybe it's getting annoying?[/quote]

Shadow visits to other schools are excused absences.  The school is obligated to accommodate the student for missed work during school visits.  Yes obligated.  That is why guidance counselor overruled the teachers unwillingness to accommodate.  It is the law and she tried to break it.[/quote]

LOL, now the teacher "tried to break the law," is "horrible," and is a "bad teacher."  Wow!  Amazing that your child got in to such a sweatshirt-worthy school with a criminal and criminally incompetent teacher writing his recommendation. :roll:

You asked for input, and people gave you feedback.  You're not turning people around with your further attacks on the teacher.  On the bright side, this is anonymous, and you showed some good judgment in not identifying either school, at least.

If I was the teacher and discovered this thread I'd send it to the schools as a warning. [/quote]
