[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 204222"] Sharon - husband works in a shop. No cell phones allowed. must be turned off or they get written up. He does turn it on at break and lunch but must go outside for a signal. Cannot call. They will not deliver a message until break of lunch, in which case I can call his cell at that time. I tried giving his number to school. The trouble there is teachers have different open periods to make calls. husband cannot answer the phone. He can return calls on his break or lunch but the teachers are not always available. By the time the office pages them, they come to the office...husband's break is over. And if it is a thing where difficult child needs to be picked up...nobody gets the message. I am in an office when I am at work I can answer the phones. School - They do not have study hall's with the block schedule. They have 4 ninty minute blocks. they earn a credit at semester rather than the entire year. So the classes cover a lot of material, especially honors classes. Which she specifically said he should have 1 - 2 hours every night in addition to projects that are to be worked on outside of this. That is just biotech. He does have Learning Stratagies class for only one quarter. Here he is suppose to be working with spec. ed teacher on organization, note taking, responsibility. He does have some time in this class for work. However in two weeks that class will be over and he will have gym. Come semester he will have credits (fingers crossed) for his current classes and then have all new classes second semester. He will earn 8 credits each year (if all goes well). With the hour system they can only earn 6 credits. All High Schools are on this schedule as they were when easy child was there. Anyway..no, homework is homework. They do classwork in class. Actually - I joined this board when difficult child was 4, in 1997/98, under a different name. Then left for quite a few years, rejoined as kjs04. then when they upgraded that was wiped out and I had to rejoin again. [/QUOTE]
