[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 340842, member: 3419"] You've gotten some great advice, with which I concur. Other than that, all I can say is, boy, does that sound familiar, and AARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! [I]A teacher gave him a zero on an assignment he actually completed. He was supposed to describe cookies using the 5 senses in an effort to sell them to somebody. During class teacher told him oatmeal cookies and sugar cookies. Okay, fine... difficult child has an auditory and memory problem. The homework sheet has no mention of the cookies to be used in the instructions at the top of the sheet. It just says "the cookies". You know, the place a kid who forgot what to do reads prior to completling his work? I don't doubt difficult child was talking or not paying attention in class, he is a teen and a difficult child afterall. I don't doubt that he could have put in a better effort but he DID do the assignment. He got a zero out of 10 for using chocolate chip cookies in his assignment. A flippin zero. Now I don't really care what this teacher thinks of my difficult child or if she likes him. He made a mistake. Even if she wants to assume it was a careless mistake he still did the rest of the work. He tried, he turned it in on time. It seems to me that she could have given him at least 2 freakin' points for putting his name on it and turning it in on time with writing on it. The zero vs. even just one single solitary measly point seems insutling and intentionally harsh.[/I] [/QUOTE]
