  Case: H.A.M Log (Homework Assignment Missing Log)
Mr. Carver is a new teacher who has a student who will not complete any homework assignments. He has contacted the student's parents and sent home numerous H.A.M logs to be signed by parents, which always come back signed. The students does well in the class, and has an A, even with the missing homework assignments. He has spoken with other team members who teach the student, and they do not have the same issue with the student; most homework assignments are projects and students have a specific deadline by which to submit the assignment, math homework is nightly. Mr. Carver wonders if he should just ignore the fact that the student does not complete or turn in most homework assignments, or if he should involve the school counselor and administration.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is definitely a case worth further investigation. These projects are being used to see if the student understands the material, and are important to complete. Perhaps the pacing of the class is too slow for them?
