I finally had a chance to talk to her teacher. He figured since she's one of his better students he didn't need to be as on top of her as he does some other students. Which I can appreciate..to a point. I did explain to him, way back at the beginning of the year, that if TG is given an inch she'll take 5 miles. Apparently he didn't believe me until now.

He did say she could turn those assignments in for partial credit. I haven't decided yet if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Naturally I don't want my child to carry a D, but I wonder if she'll think she can get away with this kind of thing now?

Sometimes being a parent blows chunks.

I'm feeling for you. You know I'm going thru this w/Steve right now... I look at it this way. Some day he will move out of the house and no longer be my responsibility, right?

As an English teacher, I should have proofread my previous comment! "Math," not "match."

First of all, as a teacher I appreciate that you are so concerned about TG's grades and that you make her responsible for them. Trust me when I say that a lot of parents don't do that. Secondly, that match teacher needs to get on the ball. I wish that it were as easy for me to contact parents as it is for him. I'd love to be able to just log the grades into the computer and have parents be able to see. As things are now, I have to make way too many phone calls every week. Can I tell you how unpleasant that is?!?!? It is easy to get behind on grading/posting grades. I know that I do since English work takes so dang long to grade, but this teacher is taking an inordinate amount of time. Three months is ridiculous!
