Yesterday, one of my children announced on the way out the door to school that a report written over spring break was still on the laptop and needed to be printed and brought to school since it was due that day. I asked if I could e-mail it to the teacher instead – I was told that would work.
Here are the steps I had to take to make that happen:
- Go to the school website to find the teacher’s e-mail address
- Call Judy at work to make sure I had the correct teacher
- Fire up the laptop, find the document, resave the document in an earlier version of Word just in case the teacher doesn’t have the latest version, and copy the newly saved document to our network drive
- Compose an e-mail to the teacher and attach the document before sending
Here is the response I received from the teacher – the child’s name has been redacted to protect the guilty.
I have received it, but I will not grade it until next week. It was not due until next Monday there is information that we have not covered in class that needs to be included in the paper. [Your child] may want to consider adding this information before submitting it for a grade.
Thus, my post title: Working from memory is a bad idea – even when you’re young!
We had a talk with our offending child about using his/her agenda planner that the school provides. The good news – at least he/she is working ahead, even if not intentionally.
