Update (not much of one).
I decided this morning that Friday's examination of the work went over so well, I would just look at his work everyday! So, I graded all the worksheets that I had sitting around (it is my volunteer job), and I headed off to pick DS6 up from school.
Again, no parents. I guess the other kids get in cars or ride the bus or something; I am not saying I see no parents, that would be crazy..just none from my son's class. It doesn't help that his class is released from a different class each day (Monday - Music..Tuesday PE, etc). [You know, when I write it down, it seems crazy-er than it seemed previously.]
Well, I found DS6 and set off to his classroom to check his work; sadly his teacher was not there (can we add a DT - dear teacher?). But, I had him show me his work...he didn't claim to do much, but his SRA that he showed me was unfinished, as expected. He said that he told DT100 he wasn't finished, but I guess time was up or something, and she was like "whatever...you can finish another day."
Another parent came in the room - so happy I was, really - but it turns out that her kid is in the co-taught class and didn't have the same frustrations as I did. I was pretty direct (well, she came in while I was quizzing DS6 about his work and all, so it was a good opening), but I managed to ask while the kids were distracted with each other (DS5 is quite the socialite). Sadly, I didn't find a comrade, but I did make contact with another parent..who now knows my concerns ---and just might know a parent in DS's class.
Tomorrow is another day.
