...as am I.
difficult child was supposed to work on a paper for school. He is writing about a famous sports person so it's not like it's torture.
He was sick yesterday (as was I) and did not go to school. I saw him typing downstairs in the kitchen and have no idea why he didn't print it out, but told him I'd copy his work onto a disk and email it from my computer. (He does not have Internet.) When I went to copy it, I was alarmed that it was so short.
Here is the teacher's response to my email and his attachment.
Terry,
C has not followed through and completed the assigned task. Friday May 9th the students where asked to finish writing the body of their paper over the weekend. C was absent on Monday and then did not bring his paper when he returned on Tuesday. What you have attached (the typed paragraphs) is not sufficient because it does not include the introduction, and body. C will be using some of his class time and recess to work on this process. He is having to start over because he did not bring any of his completed work to school. He told me he left it at home. To be truthful I am not sure what to believe any more. He has missed every deadline I have set for this paper. I am going to deduct 20pts before I ever read his paper due to his lack of responsibility. C will be starting with an 80 B- so he needs to make sure he does his best.
Thanks,
KG
