[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 78522, member: 3837"] My 12 year old easy child is the same way in math. In fact, he received two 0's on his progress report for not showing his work. He's been this way as far back as I can remember. I remember his 3rd grade math teacher writing a note home saying "easy child refused to do his work in class and put his head down on his desk." I was fuming and grounded him. Then when I hear his side of the story after he threw a huge fit and we were both mad, we calmed down and talked and I found out he just didn't show how he got the answer. At that point I was peeved with the teacher. She made it sound like he didn't do it at all. I called and chewed her out. I explained how important it was that she be specific about what happened in school and not make it out to be something awful when it was something simple. She never really liked me after that, oh well! This year I just told him that they require it, now that ne knows this, I require it too. I still don't think he should have gotten two 0's because of it. Sorry it's been such a rough week! I hope your weekend is calmer. [/QUOTE]
