I can't decide whether to laugh or cry on this one:

DS missed classes Thursday and so I asked one teacher to please check and make sure DS put a large project in his backpack to bring home and work on over the weekend. DS will lose it if it's not in the backpack--it needed to be rolled, rubber-banded, and packed.

(It's in 504 that teachers check at end of class to make sure he has materials needed--but usually this isn't necessary.)

DS came home yesterday and I asked him about the project. Yes, he brought it home. Finished. He could have turned it in, but since I asked teacher to make sure he brought it home--he brought it home.

Seriously? Now I'm beginning to think the teacher, DS and I are ALL apples/trees. Could we be more literal? I had explained that DS thought his project was complete, but if it wasn't, he would work on it over the weekend.

This is going to be (another) long year. Sigh.
