[QUOTE="Josie, post: 240866, member: 1792"] My difficult child got a C on her report card for this very same thing. The work she completed was all A+'s but missing work brought her grade down. I also thought natural consequences would work but my difficult child is content with her C. I did not want to get into keeping track of her assignments and making sure she did the work so we came up with an incentive plan. She gets a "bonus" for all A's on her report card and more for any A+'s. She has to get all A's to get any money. I hate to give her money for something she should be doing but, at a job, the highest performers do get rewarded with raises, promotions, etc. She seems to be motivated by $ so far. Her teacher also agreed to e-mail me daily for missing assignments. My difficult child hasn't lied to my knowledge about school work but she does lie about other things. If the teacher told me she had missing work and she said she didn't, I think I would either call the teacher in difficult child's presence or assume the teacher was right and difficult child was lying. If I know about a long term assignment due the next day or missing work, I don't let her watch TV or be on the computer or have her phone. To me, it is one thing to not monitor her school work closely and another to knowingly let her not do it. [/QUOTE]
