Had Steve turned in his work originally, he would have straight As. But now we&#39;re torn whether to give him his cell phone back (which he hasn&#39;t had since around February!).<br /><br />Seeing that she made Principal&#39;s list, and some of it wasn&#39;t her fault (not knowing what her grade was, etc), maybe you can lighten up a little, but still punish. Maybe no sleepovers? Or something like that...Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990546489833987094.post-38237063190977948432010-06-08T09:14:53.504-07:002010-06-08T09:14:53.504-07:00I had called and emailed the school board prior to this, but I decided I also needed to file a formal letter of complaint, in writing. <br /><br />Not that they&#39;ve been much help, either. <br /><br />My heart also breaks for TG not being able to make this right. And she really tried the last few months. I know she turned in some of the assignments he still says he doesn&#39;t have and she went to him and begged for extra-credit work so she could bring up her grade. <br /><br />I&#39;m torn about what to do with her for the summer. Can I really blame her for having a sucky teacher? OTOH, we wouldn&#39;t be in this mess if she&#39;d turned in all her assignments to begin with.Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09750929058018343501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990546489833987094.post-64994710031925541352010-06-08T09:07:36.776-07:002010-06-08T09:07:36.776-07:00Oh gosh - I SO agree with you on being happy to see the school year end! And while I agree with you re: it being TG&#39;s fault, in a way I feel bad for her because you never got the chance to help her make it right. (We have the same issues w/Steve)<br /><br />I would have sent a letter to the board, etc long ago. Districts are a hierarchy. Keep going up the chain. Seriously, with all the talk of how parents aren&#39;t involved, here <i>you</i> are, a parent who wants to be involved, wants to help their child, and you are getting absolutely no help from the school. Oh, that ticks me off. That&#39;s what gives teachers a bad name.<br /><br />We&#39;re in a similar spot w/Steve. He didn&#39;t turn in a couple science assignments, and then his teacher stopped posting up the homework and hasn&#39;t sent out a progress report since quarter grades. He says he has a B, but who the hell knows? Grrrr....Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.com
