That ship has sailed. And if the parent does it for her she will be enabling her. Let her suffer the consequences of being on her phone at night and not turning in assignments. This kind of thing won't fly when she goes to college and has a job. And take away her phone--you shouldn't tolerate her acting like a 2 year old when you take her phone away. [/quote]

As an educator, my perspective is that the teacher already reached out and let her turn in those assignments. To have ignored that opportunity, and to bring it up as an option only after the extended window has closed...? That would grate. Also, her hands may be tied now that final grades have already been submitted.

I extended a major paper for a group in one of my classes and provided them with intensive guidance. Short of writing the paper for them, I basically handed them everything they'd need. They failed to follow through on anything. Final grades of C all around. Two weeks after grades went in (and, mind you, two MONTHS after the assignment was originally due), I get a call asking what one student could do to get a B for the course. I'd been working with that group since mid-term. That I got them to a C was a miracle. Of course, they are bitter and angry about my apparent lack of fairness here.
