I do not like how many email exchanges I& #39;ve had with parents that go

"Dear parent, Checking in. Child has turned nothing in at all."

"Dear teacher, You sure? They& #39;re on the computer every day and say they are."

"Dear parent, here are screenshots of relevant things. Sorry."

I don& #39;t WANT to snitch on my kids like that. I want to have that conversations with the kid. But it& #39;s not working like that this year. I don& #39;t want parents to have to be embarrassed with these conversations bc I know they& #39;re trying their best but it& #39;s really hard.
Bleh. BLEH.

I have boundless empathy for what parents are going thru this year. My children who live with me have tried not working (bc they& #39;re kids and kids do that) and they only get caught bc I know the system better than they do.
Parents are navigating storm waters right now.
