  Case: Refusal to complete "EASY" Assignment
I require my students to complete the topics being covered for the week in their agenda. I have numerous students who refuse to copy the information into their agenda. Therefore, they are failing my class because when I check them on Fridays, they do not have it written down. I do not want my students to fail because of an agenda. How do I get them to do it? or How can I justify them failing for that reason?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You can't really justify them failing for failing to record something in their agenda book because grade and passing and failure should be based on student's ability to master the standards, not whether or not they copy something in their agenda. The only thing I can think of is to call or email those parents who's students don't record and get them on board. More times parents have more effect on the things that their child does.

Comments: I agree with you, it shouldn't make them fail, but maybe providing a reward may help them do the assignment. I defiantly would have a meeting with the parents about the situation. I would do this in your situation.
