[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 588295, member: 13204"] It wasn't too horrid. Her GC admitted he didn't "enact" her 504, because she was doing OK, and didn't seem to need it. Great, so wait until we are digging out of a hole and then decide to use it. Thanks buddy. He mentioned that her Algebra 2 teacher (the class that she has an F on her report card) said there was no need to make up any of it, because it isn't fundamental work. Alright, then 1)why are you teaching material that is not fundamental, 2)why wouldn't you want a child to make up work? So, we told the GC that difficult child spoke with him about incompletes, and why did she not have one in Algebra? We told him that he needed to contact the Algebra teacher, and difficult child is going to be allowed to make up the quizzes and test, we would take a wash on the H.W. for last quarter. The GC stammered a little and said he would need to check with the teacher. I stood my ground and said there was to be no discussion. It was going to happen. Also told him that difficult child would be having modified HW for that class as well. That she cannot do 30-40 problems a night. That 3-5 is plenty. (I have never understood why teachers do that. If they can do 5 of them what does doing 30 more prove?) So, we will see how this quarter goes. [/QUOTE]
