[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher I also wonder if the kid is doing something like dropping a completed essay into the google doc, or sharing it as a viewer, or not submitting it to whatever plagiarism/AI detector the school uses.

I’m the teacher who posted above, checking into see if OP updated. I suspect this is what happened. The OP’s son didn’t share correctly, either on purpose or accidentally. Either way, I would do the same thing as the teacher in OP’s post: the assignment isn’t turned in until I can see its originality.

I doubt the school is protecting the teacher, as OP states. The school simply agrees with the teacher because this is standard practice.[/quote]

I’m the OP. In one case, the teacher made comments in the document that my kid submitted. Therefore, I know my kid submitted the document in the appropriate manner. If my kid had not done so, then the teacher would not have reviewed the work. This is the same document that the teacher claims kid never submitted.

We have requested an in-person meeting. My kid is mortified. Kid does not want us involved but we are more than 1/2 way through the year and the situation remains absurd so I have no choice to be involved. I’m sure my
kid is not 100 percent blameless throughout the year, but the situation is just plain weird. Kid does not have issues with any other class when it comes to submitting work.

And, in response to an earlier poster, no, teacher does not appear to like my kid. That’s ok. My kid is super quiet. I’m guessing kid is even more quiet than before due to stained interactions with teacher. [/quote]

No, making comments in the document does not mean the document was submitted correctly. If your child submitted a copy of the assignment instead of the original, the teacher would be able to comment and edit. The teacher would NOT be able to check the version history, which many teachers require for a valid submission.

I have left comments on docs before, telling students to submit the original copy before I will grade it.

I’m glad you have this meeting. I think it will give the school an opportunity to clear this up with you, and I suspect “version history” might play into that conversation. [/quote]
