As I walked into the classroom today a parent and his son were standing in the classrooom wondering why his son got a 0 on an assignment that made him inelligable for the track team.
I needed some prep time, some time to think. But didn't have any.
I told him I needed some time to think about this and what I can do for his son.
Here's what I've learned..
1. Don't just give completion grades as a 0 or 100%.
2. Make a set due date, then I can justify something not being turned in.
3. Help this kid more with researching and give more grace to him.
4. Have more proof of what I told the class. Maybe write directions on the bellwork pages?
What I do now is diffuclt, because if I give him more work to do that's unfair and unbeneficial. If I let him go back and finish the assignment and hand it in to me, it's been so long and it won't help him because it was to help him take notes for the outline.
The parent SHOULD have...
1. Known about this beforehand
2. Not come down on me like I have to do something for his kid
3. Not point out my wrongs "so it wasn't clear to you..."
