E-mail the home room teacher and cc all her others if applicable gently stressing taht you ARE NOT receiving the information being sent home. Keep ANY and ALL personal feelings out of it. This WILL show your interest in them succeeding as well as prevent any more potentail disasters in the regard of missing work. Karen, I made sure that was the first thing I did and I KNOW I told you to do so a long long time ago, why haven't you?!?! That's not going to look so good in court, get on it!
Um, I screwed up? I prob. thought I would wait until after it was a problem or something. In retrospect, I agree you were 100% right!!! I followed your advice and didn't email X. I emailed her homeroom teacher and her science/math teacher after I read your post, and told them of the problem. Her homeroom teacher already knows b/c I was asking her about the book report less than 2 weeks ago asking her about the info and got a copy of it so D9 and I could work on it. I just asked them if they could copy me on the stuff her dad is getting on Mondays. Unfortunately the only day I don't pick up D9 is the day they've been sending stuff home!!!
Oh, X did forward me some good news Friday. S15's intensive reading teacher emailed him that of his 87 students, S15 scored the highest scores on their reading achievement tests they took a few weeks ago. Of course, X's view would be that 12 hours or so of reading class has been a dramatic improvement for S15 or something, but I think my 9 years of homeschooling him and teaching him to read may have had more to do with that!!!
