Re: st: RE: Displaying column percentages in a table

["Mustillo, Sarah A" <smustill@purdue.edu>]

Gracie - thanks so much for responding. The weird thing is, he really does have that stuff done. if he is being honest, I'm looking at it right now. So, I really don't understand why he's not turning them in. He showed me the calendar (thanks for giving me the heads up on that!) and I just don't understand how he can not know when things are due. He swears he thought the cancer thing was due Friday, and I saw him doing it early in the week (because we are trying to get him to do things before he thinks they are due). But somehow he is struggling with getting stuff from his desk here to turned in there - unless we are really snowed about what he is or isn't doing, which is entirely possible. As such, I appreciate the communication with you - he was an a and b student at happy hollow and believe he has the ability to be one there, if he could only get on task...it's so much harder to know what's going on now that he has so many teachers!
