[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so interesting to me. Very black and white. I would be upset that the teacher refused to help. I think it sets a bad example for kids who put in the effort to reach out and I think its damaging to be dismissive to children when they ask for help, especially coming from a teacher.

That being said, not much to do here. Tell your kiddo she's the grinch and that there are many more grinches in the world and not to get too down about it. [/quote]

I think the parents made a choice to pull the kid out of school early and the kid is dealing with the consequences of that decision. We pulled our kid from school the Friday before Memorial Day.He had to rush to complete an assignment that the rest of the class had that Friday to work on. It turned into homework for him on Tuesday. He didn't complain and we didn't complain. That is what happens when you miss school. He appreicated the extra day off and understands that the extra homework is his responsibility because we pulled him from school. A friend was going to pul her kids but didn't when she found out that one of the kids had 2 tests that day. Why? Because she knew he wouldn't be allowed to make up the tests because he was out for a vacation.

We had friends who were upset that they got letters because their kids had missed over 10 days of school because they pulled the kids for cruises after vacations. The cruises were less expensive the following week. Teachers get requests to provide school work for kids whose parents are taking them abroad for a month during the school year. You see people posting asking about reliable VPNs so that kids can log into their school SIS accounts to check on homework and the like while traveling.

So no, the Teaher is not responsible fr making sure that your kid has the instructions, he wasn't there because you pulle dhim for vacation. That is fine. he could have contacted his friends and gotten the assignment. It isn't her responsibility.[/quote]
