12 year old forgot homework, aibu to want to drop it into the school?

[Trumped]

Will she ever learn then? 🙈

We would drop anything she needs off, and the round trip takes upwards of an hour.

Any time, anything she needed.

She is completely aware of this.

Despite this, it happens once in a blue moon.

So I completely disagree, based on our experience, that doing it will make children just never bother to remember anything. It’s a mental safety net, so that if she does forget something, she knows she’s got our backup. That’s what I believe parenting is about…them always knowing someone has their back.

The school I work at (grammar) won’t allow parents to drop things off unless it’s medication. It’s a firm no and even if they turn up we have to turn them away at the gate

I drop things of the kids forget them. It's rare and as long as I am able I would rather they have what they need.

If

God, I forget things quite often, despite being reasonably efficient and being good at my job. I think it's fine to help her out. Helping someone out is a life lesson as well.

I was prepared to give mine a free pass a couple of times a term for this kind of thing. Usually it was sports kit. I could easily bring it to them so I did.

Ours is a (comparatively) small rural high school. Huge by our primary standards. If a child forgets something they’ll keep it at reception for them to collect at a break

Because they haven't asked for it by email and it just creates extra work. Teachers are snowed under. There's really no point. It's not the end of the world.

Sorry only replied there, it was a one off & I dropped it up😅

This

My head says no, how will she ever learn.

However, I would do it in a heartbeat if it was my DC and it meant she would get in trouble.

I have dropped many things for dd over the years. She has ASD and organization is a challenge. As she has gotten older, the frequency has decreased, despite my willingness to help when needed.

her school has an easy system for this because it is so common. We just drop the items in the atrium with their name attached and then the student has to come collect during whatever break they might have. That process helps keep it a bit onerous for the student. The exception is when dd forgets her inhaler, which thankfully hasn’t happened in a long time. Those they call her immediately and I hand off directly.

Well if it's a grammar......🤣

Depending on her diagnosis
