At some point it seems like it must be HIS job and HIS consequences. I realize he needs extra supports, that is what his IEP is for.
Many of the teachers at the 8th grade level here refuse to check in with parent weekly unless absolutely forced. They feel the student should be more independent. Not sure if your son is capable of being this independent or not. It was a rough year for my difficult child.
What consequences does school put out for missed assignments? Is he going to miss dances and things the way our kids do?
Your earlier post said that weekly progress reports are in his IEP. Seems to me that any teacher who refuses is not meeting his/her assignment, esp if they can email you - easily done, received, and checked. IF they won't email you with progress reports, why should you ride difficult child about what they want? (We had a REALLY bad time with this so I am just rather sniffy about this).
Sorry it is so rough. We had to check homework constantly, and finally had to just let our guy tough out the consequences at school. It certainly tore our homelife apart.
Hugs,
