  Case: Just a signature
I require every student to get a parent signature in their agenda for their homework. One students parents refuse to sign it because they believe that if their child doesn't do their homework, that is their fault. She always does her homework, but loses points because of not having a signature. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think I would inform the parent that you prefer the parent to sign off on the agenda just to show that the parent was aware the child had homework. I went to a school where this had to be done on all homework assignments. If the child still completes their homework but the parent isn't signing off maybe slowly stop enforcing this rule.

Comments: A parent teacher conference would be necessary to figure out what is really going on. With the right rapport, you can encourage the student to take responsibility and get the parent on board.
