Sorry teachers out there but really ( Jr High )

Already, not even six weeks into school teacher sent home a note saying my son needed after school detention for missing work. My son showed me in his notebook the graded paper.
So ya a 80 vs a 0 makes a difference in his overall average.

To me teachers schould be one of the most organized professions - they should be organized.
Loosing papers and grades is so frustrating to us parents.

I feel, I'm not in a position to take sides, I don't know who screwed up. Did my kid forget to turn it in or did the teacher loose it?

Last year, i had a teacher get up and walk out of a meeting because i would not lay all the blaim on my daughter for a missing paper. My daughter showed me the rough drafts, ect. And yes, maybe she never did the finnal copy OR maybe the teacher did misplace it. I don't know, I wasn't there to see her turn it in or not turn it in.

So as a parent how do you handle this?

Again, already this year it's happening. Already frustrated with the school and teachers.

And on a lesser note: teachers that take forever to grade papers.

I know, its a lot and they do a lot at home - but they knew these things when they became teachers. The computer grading systems show outstanding grades, i question my kids, did you do this page, there is no grade - it leaves a question of how your child is doing in that class - there are no grades, so how do you know.

Is it also customanry for kids to never bring anything home?

They say the teacher won't let them bring their folders home, everything stays in the classroom - well, i'd like to see the work their doing.
