[QUOTE="Andy, post: 307009, member: 5096"] Thank you! My difficult child and Diva both have always avoided asking other adults for help in anything. I am sure the assignment said due Monday. difficult child said teacher talked to him today and sounded like the teacher did not agree with me about difficult child taking the issue of being late to him. Ugh. difficult child said, "Teacher knew I was late". But how, besides not receiving it? Did you tell him why? Guess I have done all I can do short of taking him by the hand and marching him into each class and making him hand in the homework and we all know that would not be a good idea. So, I need to just keep quiet and let him do as he wants (after the appropriate amount of nagging. LOL! Can only nag a few times and then have to drop the attempt. I think that is the problem! I am really not good at nagging!). I think he thought he had unlimited time because of being gone last week. However, I am sure that Monday was HIS deadline for something other kids had to turn in last week. He had more than enough time to complete it. He got a start on it in the hospital doing the most time consuming part of the work and it was a very easy assignment. I know my Diva believed that the grades were only made up of the tests and quizzes. She just couldn't understand that homework assignments made up a large part of the grade. To her, it doesn't matter how you get there, if you can answer the tests and quizzes correctly, you should be able to pass the class. I must be a difficult child at heart because I do understand where she is coming from. However, as a mom with kids who don't always do well on tests and quizzes, it is good to know that the homework will help keep the grade. [/QUOTE]
