[quote=Anonymous]OP, your child sees the teacher every day or every other day if there is a block schedule. Your child should be talking to the teacher. How are you not understanding that a student emailing a teacher about missing work twice instead of a student talking to the teacher before school, after school, after class, and/or at lunch is making the teacher work harder when it should be your student doing the legwork to talk to the teacher in person. It takes time to respond to back and forth emails when a conversation in person will quickly resolve the problem.

Most likely the teacher has explained to your student, missing work gets graded last or graded once a month. Why do you think your child is so special out of the teacher's 150 students that the teacher is supposed to stop everything, grade your child's late work, enter the grade online and then email you back. Your child probably isn't telling you the whole story. For all you know the teacher could have told your child, I got your mother's email and late work gets graded last.

Or hopefully the teacher isn't putting up with this obsessive nonsense. Your child talked to the teacher and submitted the assignment but the teacher hasn't had a chance to update the online grading system. Why do you think your child submitted the wrong assignment? What assignment do you think she submitted? Some random piece of paper?

She spoke in person with the teacher (good job for her!) and then turned in the assignment. Now you need to be patient. Do you think the teacher emails every parent when his or her child turns in something late saying I know it says missing in the grade book but rest assured your child turned in the correct assignment? If you want that level of catering, pay for private school. Meanwhile, your child is the one who is going to suffer because if you keep pestering the teacher. When the teacher has to choose who to call on why would he or she call on your child to answer? The teacher might get an email from you saying- my child came home from school and said they were called on to answer a question, but wasn't sure if they correctly answered the question or got credit for answering, etc.

Leave the teacher alone![/quote]
