[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 335215, member: 6546"] So I decided that I WOULD contact the teacher... Here is the message that I sent: [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=royalblue]Dear Ms English Teacher[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=royalblue][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=royalblue]I just wanted to drop you a line regarding difficult child's research paper: I read, and understand the requirements of this project...and I signed the letter indicating that I read and understood the project. Unfortunately, difficult child is approaching this assignment the same way she has been approaching most of her school work this year. I am disappointed that she is not determined to do better, but I am tired of arguing with her about homework. She is going to have to take responsibility for herself. I am willing to lend whatever support she needs to get this project done on time (visits to the library, computer access etc), but that is all that I can do. If you need to speak to me or would like to discuss this issue....I can be reached at xxx-xxxx.[/COLOR][/FONT] ..................................... I hope this counts as "detachment" and not a "cop-out". :confused1: --DaisyFace PS--Report cards for last quarter come out today. difficult child has already posted on FB that her parents made her do so many chores that she had no time to do homework and therefore failed five classes. Nice. [/QUOTE]
