[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 381157, member: 7371"] Terry, Glad the meeting went well. We have similar online access to grades & attendance. It has been a huge help. I have to caution you though, some teachers just don't keep up with inputting the grades, and some will list an assignment online as homework, then have the kids work on it in class. It's not foolproof, but it's way better than nothing. I have learned to treat it as objective data. So when it shows a zero on an assignment, instead of accusing difficult child of not doing the work, I'll say something like, "(System Name) shows a zero on your history assignment." If he says he did it, then I'll say, "Well, you need to straighten it out with your teacher. Maybe she recorded it incorrectly." It takes the emotion out of the conversation, and requires him to take responsibility for dealing with teacher errors (which really do happen). And it does act as sort of an "early warning" system so you don't have to wait for progress reports to see how things are going. [/QUOTE]
