  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!)
So many classrooms are using a flipped classroom model where content is uploaded to a digital format before it is given to the students. Sometimes students are in a home environment that requires students to have many responsibilities. Check with your student. Does he/she have to baby-sit siblings while parents work multiple jobs. Maybe weekends are the only times that the student has time with parent support. Posting to a class blog, website, google classroom, etc may be a new Tier 1 approach for students.

Comments: The idea of checking to see what goes on at home is great, as long as this student does not get special privilege.
