Here's the email I just sent. I hope it does the trick.
Dear Mr. S:
I noticed online through Parent Express that difficult child had five Fs for
assignments in your class, which included (if I did this correctly, by memory)
8.3, 9.1, 10.1 and others, as well as a volcano II assignment.
He has just finished doing three assignments in front of me at home. But he
is concerned that he will not get credit for the rest (or even for the ones he's
done) and is just shutting down. He will not learn anything this way and I need
some help here. If you could accept the late assignments and give him a low
grade, say, a D, to indicate that they have been completed, that would be
helpful.
I do not know if you told him that he would not get any credit at all, but
he has interpreted it that way, so I am worried that he will not do any work
from here on in.
If you would like to meet in person to discuss this, I would be happy to.
Just let me know a good time and I will make sure that difficult child is there.
All the best,
Terry J
