So, good idea to keep the deadline of having to bring her home at night. One thing is clear: he needs hard deadlines to be effective. So, that is a good tool for your toolbox.
I think I am going to have to do it. He finally responded. He said she wasn't ready to do it last week. Well, she was also at his house on Tuesday overnight and they didn't do it then either. He says he won't know how long it is going to take until they start. I am going to talk to D12 when I pick her up in a little while from yearbook club and let her know that I have extended the time one hour, but she needs to make sure it gets done in that time. Even if he is not there right away she can get everythihng ready and get him on it as soon as he gets home. This was my response to him: I would think that 4 hours should be enough time, it is a 6th grade book project it isn't expected to be professional. In reality it should look like something she has done, not something you do. Editing should be minimal. In the future we need to make sure that projects aren't being done last minute. I'll probably get a nasty response for it, but whatever!
