For Parents!Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
How can my child make up his/her work? 1. I accept late homework, each day it is late it is dropped 10 points. This shows up on the Progress report as an "L" if late one block, "LL" if late 2, and "LLL" if late 3. I would rather they did the homweok/classwork late than not at all. Not always. Example: If they missed a movie, they might not be able to just watch it and get the info I gave during the class watching. Also, how do they makeup the Lecture (talking) I give? I cannot just recreate that. To make up a Daily Grade, I require them to stay after school with me to give me back the 90 minutes of class time they missed - or, if they have resource or study hall, they can come then. I take my instruction very seriously, and like to think that each day we have done something important. Therefore, your student really should not come back asking "did we do anything while I was gone?" What should they do if they were absent? 1. They need to be responsible. They need to remember that work does occur in their absence. Look at this website for the work and for the documents I handed out in class. What if they lose a worksheet? It is here on the website. Or, they can ask me ONCE. Then they need to copy it from a classmate, or print it from this site. Have your son/daughter check this website. OFTEN. Even if they are on restriction, PLEASE let them at least use the computer for this purpose. AND, check their INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS. May I call you, or come observe a class? Absolutely. I welcome you and your calls. What if my child is failing? Isn't it YOUR fault? It means that a) your child is not in class on a regular basis b) fails to make up work c) does no homework d) is always absent on Quiz days. NO STUDENT SHOULD BE FAILING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GIVE MANY MANY ASSIGNMENTS SO THERE SHOULD BE LOTS OF GRADES, ONE OR TWO MISSED WILL NOT HURT THEM, AND THERE IS A TON OF EXTRA CREDIT. IF YOUR CHILD IS FAILING, THEY ARE BASICALLY DOING LITTLE TO NO WORK. What if I have a question not listed here? Please email from from the link on the homepage. I will answer you by email, and post the question if seems relevant to other parents. |
