I think it's a good lesson to learn, even though it's a hassle for you. This is what I got out of the meeting at Ozark Junior High School. They apparently aren't too serious about making sure homework gets done on time. http://bungalowbillscw.blogspot.com/2009/03/two-week-late-homework-policy-at-ozark.htmlTimeshare Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784047363593719824noreply@blogger.com
