  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!)
Just politely say that unfortunately I will not be able to provided them via email.

Comments: There should be no reason why you cannot make assignments accessible for all students. There is a problem with extending dead lines because they are just simply not doing their homework.

Comments: This is not useful because it does not solve the problem, it just cuts off communication with the mom and likely will upset her.
