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 plan a parent-teacher conference with his mom. I would have data of past assignments and anecdotal evidence of the student missing assignments. I would also provide the student's mother with an outline of the homework for the first semester? It may be diffficult to plan that far ahead, but maybe you could provide her with a weekly calendar of the homework assignments.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think the student needs to be responsible for their actions. It isn't fair for the other students.
