  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!)
Take off points if the homework is not done. Have students get their agenda signed on their homework the following day if it is not done to reinforce that homework should be done. Then it is not an every night occurrence to have the parents sign homework. We need to teach students self discipline and that's what parents are doing too.

Comments: This doesn't seem to place any blame on the parent, and insinuates it's the teachers fault
