[QUOTE="Shari, post: 359645, member: 1848"] Ours is the same way. Assignments are posted online, you can log in and look at their gradebook every day. (I don't, by the way) I just happened to look at info on Wee's page, and glanced at hers. The school policy is to use "ZAPs" for missing work. "Zeroes aren't permissable". If they don't turn in an assignmnet, they get a ZAP, it goes home to be signed by the parent and returned with the completed work the next day, or they are supposed to get a detention. She's not gotten a single ZAP this year. She has 5 assingments in math still out from the course of the last month. Since he didn't send home ZAPs, she doesn't have any ZAPs, so she qualifies for the field trip. And I just loathe it, it reinforces what she's already doing - nothing. I also know other kids in this same math class who've been sent home with many ZAPs. If I were those parents, I'd be ticked. I'm about ready to suggest to husband we ask to give up week time with cultured difficult child and ask to have her three weekends a month instead, so school is completely out. [/QUOTE]
