school issues
I know that many of you believe that school issues should be handled by school and not become an issue at home. (and I’m not saying I disagree with that approach)
My 7th grader gets his assignments signed off on every day by his teachers.
Well last night, he erased his assignment after the teacher had signed it and wrote “None” for homework.
It seems that grounding doesn’t work with him. I usually try to give him extra work, when he pulls something like this. He has to do the school assignment and then something I come up with as extra work, but it doesn’t seem to help either and really is more of a headache for me as I have to keep redirecting him to do his work.
This teacher lets the kids turn in assignments late with no penalty so he can make up the work with no consequences from school but the dishonesty is really the bigger issue anyway.
Any suggestions are welcome.
