Is the problem that the strict teacher won't remind DD to check because it is worded 'DD will have the teacher check' rather than 'the teacher will check'? Or is the problem with the more relaxed teachers not always doing it?
Yep! The 504 is written to say that DD will go to the teacher and have him/her check the agenda. DD cannot remember to do that. The teacher is following the 504 exactly as worded. She expects DD to come to her. The other teachers just let DD bring the work in when they figure out the homework didn't make it in (which actually has only happened 4 times this quarter!!). They do dock her a few points just to acknowledge that the item was late.
I loved the idea of the camera, but phones aren't allowed in the classroom. Also, DD would probably forget to take the picture.
I like the idea of the teacher handing DD a sheet with the homework printed out.
Final twist - turns out that most of the zero's in class are "in class" work. DD took home her class notebook to perfect her essays and so forgot to return the notebook to the box several times. Have any ideas about this?
DD is doing so much better getting all her work turned in. She has always received A's, and in this, her strongest class, she is getting mid-80's. Her grades are either 100's or 0's. It's frustrating because the year she does the best, it's her most favorite subject that is causing her the most angst.
