She often tells me that her work is completed, but it is either incorrect or partially incomplete. Currently, Em has a 61% for the nine weeks, and I have spoken to her about her behavior and her grades. I was wondering if you think creating a success plan, like a contract, for Em would be beneficial in helping to resolve this problem, or if you just wanted to talk to her. I really want to find the best way to reach her, I just don’t seem to be getting there. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. Or, if actually speaking to me might help explain any of these situations we could arrange a time to talk later in the evening if school hours don’t work. Please let me know what you think best.
What do you suggest i do?

Talk to your daughter's teacher and discuss the issue! Be thankful you have a teacher who seems to have the best interests of your daughter at heart. Between the three of you you should be able to come up with some solution.

It sounds like this teacher really wants to come up with strategies that will help your daughter to be successful. That is wonderful. I would speak to her. Find out what supports have already been tried so that you can come up with strategies together to help your daughter succeed. I am not really sure what a success plan is. Ask her to explain that to you. Also talk to your daughter and find out her side of it. Maybe she is misunderstanding the assignments and thinks it is complete, when it is only partially complete. If it is incorrect but complete, ask your teacher what she suggests, if there are any activities that you can be doing at home to help support success in certain subjects, and if there might be additional help available through school. Good luck!

The teacher sounds like she is honestly trying to solve the problem of incomplete work. I suggest that you meet with her --with an open mind --and see what she has to say.
The idea of a plan sounds good. It may help your daughter to get her work done. Is the teacher talking about work in school or homework? For homework, you could look it over and suggest to your daughter ways that she can get it done more completely.
If it is work in school, does your daughter work slowly so that she does not have the time to get everything done in the time allowed?

I would tell the teacher that it is HER job to work with the child to maybe try a different way of explaining the class work so that the child might understand the subject better. As the teacher it is her job to see where the child is having problems and to try to figure out what the child needs to help. It is your job as a parent to make sure the work is completed, not correct it...that is the teacher's job. If she doesn't WANT to do her job then maybe she is in the wrong profession.

Arrange to meet with this teacher. She sounds very eager to help, and you should be there to work together with her.
You need to be ensuring that your daughter is doing her homework at home, and find out every day if it's work she didn't complete in class, or if it's assigned homework.
We found that the use of a homework book helped out, which takes work on both the teacher and parents' part.

I agree with Karen B. The best thing for you to do is
1) Talk with the teacher and discuss all the available options for your daughter. The worst thing you want is for you daughter to recieve an F in this class as a final grade and get discouraged.
2) Talk with your daughter yourself. Ask her if she needs any help or tutoring or anything that could help her do better in school. Express to her just how important it is for her to get a good education and do well in school.
3) If she won't open up to you, if she has any older siblings or if you know any of her friends, talk with them and ask them to help your daughter more in her school work. They could do what I did, in high school I wasn't doing as well as I wanted so I created a study group and we met every two weeks. *I'm doing the same in college.*
But really meet up with that teacher and discuss the options. I think it's wonderful her teacher has expressed an interest in helping her. So little teachers do that now a days and it's good to find a teacher who enjoys their job enough to help.

I would find out what subjects that are the problems and then ask your daughter some questions, Like if she has trouble reading or if the words bounce about the pages.She could be dyslexic. Or adhd. My daughter is adhd and had trouble with her work too. My daughter was is also dyslexic. She is doing good now. They have programs to help them what ever the case is. Maybe it just isn't interesting to her.

My first step would be to respond to the instructor in a well timed way. i'd say some thing like: thank you for bringing this to my interest. i visit sit down and communicate this with Em and if it truly is a few thing that maintains possibly the three human beings can sit down at the same time to get the undertaking resolved. My 2d step would be to communicate to Em and ask with regard to the incidents, get her area of the story. on a similar time as she is talking hear of direction and ask questions like why did you do this, or make a remark like i think of which could be embarrassing for the sub (if it fits). Then end with you pointing out the form you felt so a strategies as sadness, embarrassed, and so on. and make specific to inform her it takes a actual woman to be a individual you realize to have sufficient character and admire for her self besides as others. actual women human beings do no longer sit down on the band wagon, they experience their own horse. with the aid of fact it sounds extra like peer tension than something so it fairly is vital which you provide her the boldness and instill that faith in her to make her very own selection wisely. with the aid of fact now it fairly is being disruptive, next it will be skipping classification, and probably even intercourse. SO Please communicate together with her, whether she acts annoyed, she'll nonetheless hear you. terrific needs.

i would suggest maybe a parent-student-teacher confrence that way you can hear what is being said to your daughter, and be more able to help her at home... if that doesn't work, the contract might help... i've seen a few kids where it really helps them and then some others where it has no effects at all.. i would talk to your daughter one on one as well and see if it's something as simple as she doesn't understand it and go from what she says the problem is

when she says her home work is done have her show it to you and if it is not done correctly have her re do the work and have her show you it when she is done. if it is still incorrect help her if she is having a problem. after it is complete tell her to put it in her bag and when she gets to school give it to the teacher. Maybe after school call the teacher to see if the work was turned in. This is what we do with my nephew who is 6 and forgets to turn in his work.
