  Case: Graded Papers
Each week I have students take home graded papers. They have a folder in which they are to place these papers to take home. I have noticed that many of my students are not putting the papers in their folders. I have also had parents call or email about not seeing their child's take home papers. I inform them that they went home in their child's folder. I'm not sure if the students are taking them out before they get home because of some of the grades or for other reasons. How do I make sure that graded papers are getting home and seen by parents?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try another method of sending home graded work. I would still put the responsibility on the child but utilize another method like sending out grades electronically. There are portable scanners which you can scan student work and then personally send them to the parent. This is time consuming but I would use this as an option for parents who call or email about not seeing their child's work.

Comments: I agree with your response. I think it is important to still hold the children responsible for their work. I think it is a good idea to try other methods of sending the grades home to the parents of the students who call or email.

Comments: This could be modified for parents to instead sign graded papers that would be returned to the teacher or a group email of all parents to send back a message to the teacher saying that they have seen the score.
