Case: I Don't Just Teach Your Child
I have a child who never turns in homework. I email his mom weekly with updates, which usually state that he has turned in no homework. She always wants me to send the assignments home for them to complete over the weekend. I finally told her that that is not fair to other students and I cannot keep grading all of his homework assignments when they back up. Now she has requested that I send her an electronic copy of the homework daily. These students are in the 7th grade. How do I professionally let her know that her child is not the only child I teach and I cannot do this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest encouraging the parent to sit down and have a talk about being responsible. As the child's teacher, you should also have this discussion with he/she. Explain to the parent that although this would be beneficial to the student, you are not able to do that for them and not do it for every other child on the team. As a seventh grader, there are certain behaviors that are expected and completing homework is one of them. |

| Comments: I think this is a good solution. There is no way in 7th grade that the child should not be held accountable for their own work, and that work being turned in on time. |

| Comments: I like your solution of just talking to the student, telling them what could happen to them. Also I would add that the student isn't on a special plan were he needs assistance. |
