Crazy story: 2 days before the end of the quarter, Talon had a 63% in Earth Systems. Not Cool! He didn't even know that the list of missing assignments were. So I had a neighbor drive me down to the school and wait for me to talk to Talon's teacher. He handed me 4 assignments, 3 of them Talon hadn't even seen yet and only 2 were listed on Power School. Then he got back another assignment that he hadn't finished that he could finish up. So I spent the next two days after schools helping him stay focused on get these assignments completed, which he did. Then, the last day of school for the quarter, he handed them all in. Then I saw on Power School that this teacher added yet another assignment that Talon didn't know anything about. They were 12 words that had to be unscrambled and then used as vocabulary words to fill in next to a list of definitions. Seriously?! So I, being a very concerned Mother, went to Unscramble.com and quickly figured out the words and TEXTED them to my son! How bad am I!!! I left a message with the school for Talon to call me, which he did, and told him to go into the bathroom, turn on his phone, and write down the words on a separate piece of paper, which he did. So then Talon went to Earth Systems class. The teacher never said a word about this assignment. So after class Talon went up to him and asked him about it. He pointed to where they were and told him to just go get it and do it, which he did. He would have been there forever trying to figure out those words if I hadn't have helped him with them. So then that was it. He handed it in and came home. We watched Power School for the next two days as he entered in the scores. When he finished, Talon had an 88%. Ah, Really?! We were a bit bummed. Then we checked it again just for fun Sunday evening. 94%!!! He gave Talon an extra 50 bonus points for not being Tardy or having used any Hall Passes. Grades were lock! He received straight As!!! What a crazy crazy week! This teacher has to be watched and communicated with!
