  Case: Divorced and double
One of my students has parents that are divorced. Each parent wants two sets of every paper I send home. This includes homework. I can tell that each parent wants to be the main parent and have the student do all of the homework with them. I can tell that the student does not like this because she is now having to do double the homework. Do I say something to the parents or just stay out.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would tell the student to only do one sheet. If the parents keep making her do both, then there isn't anything that you could do.I would make the parents happy and then talk to guidance or something. I definitely would help her out.

Comments: I would not do this, in this particular situation by telling the student that she only has to do one could then create an uncomfortable situation at home with the parents, and the parents could take their frustrations out on the student.

Comments: While I agree the student should only do their homework once, I don't think this would effectively solve the issue.
