- Keep in mind that parents often come in angry if a student is not doing well. I simply pull up the websites and compare them to a student that has been completing all the work. I point out the assignments on my site and where and how to get extra help. I check absences and discuss those things.
- I do not offer extra credit assignments. You can do the regular work for points.
