My question to the school and teacher would be why did you wait this long to tell me there is a problem? They knew there was a problem and they should have told you.
We have had this conversation with our school as well. A kid would be doing ok, or even well, but then a bad attitude and work ethic would happen so the grades dropped. By the time we found out it was report card time. The teacher saw this happening and told us NOTHING until we saw the report card. At that point it is a bit late.

Interesting that you would say this ... I just came back from the School office. I asked the Principal if they would mind getting the file to see if all my contact info was up to date ... sure enough, home phone, my cell, wifes cell and my email address. Then she asked is there a concern or a problem !!!
I responded by expressing that any student who brings home an F with a 34%that yes I do believe there is a problem ... both with the child as well as the teacher and I would appreciate any forms of communication regarding such a performance ... should I recieve updates or perhaps performance reports I would be aware of issues and could address them .. THEN I was given copies of 3 progress reports that never made it home...dam if I didn't feel stupid. I suggested in the future that maybe I could get a call or perhaps an email so I could be looking for said reports.
Well this evening I believe grandpa will be asking about progress reports and trying to fiqure out whats going on.
