The reason he gets the accommodation is because he has a disability that impacts his organizational skills which in turn makes it difficult for him to stay on top of homework organization. If the accommodation were given simply to ensure a student didn't get a low grade because they forgot to turn in homework, then there would be a lot of students requesting a 504 plan with that accommodation
I know you are right, polarbear but the funny thing is--when I tried reminding the teacher the "right" way--he didn't do anything to correct a different situation, but when I explained the reason for the accommodation (keeping gradebook current) was so I can intervene if DS goes off the rails, in time to keep him from being booted, I got a much more sympathetic response!
This is only for this year. I won't have to be so ridiculous after this--but for now, I just have to do whatever. At least that is how it feels...
