Observation and Question

Last week in our dyad, Chris and I graded papers. Since he and I both had worked with a particular set of sisters before, we were well aware when we came across their perfect homework exercises there was no way either sister did the work.

Chris and I talked with the teacher, but still questioned, what do you do when you know the homework was completed by a parent? Both girls are on IEP's is that makes any difference. The teacher gives 5 points for attempting the work not for doing it correctly. These students did not do the work. Do you withhold the 5 points? Will that inspire the girls to try to complete the work? Would you address the problem with the parent?
