I remember my 7th grade history teacher. He was hard nosed and accepted no excuses. Years later, he was still teaching. He actually called one student's mom to ask about what her daughter had said. Reason for not turning in homework: my mom can't read. The teacher informed the child that he would call her mom and try to arrange help with her homework. Mom was livid (though she really could not read) and asked if I could help the kid. I made the child read the history book outloud to the customers at the bar after handing her the book she thought she had hidden. I told her she could either do her homework or I would call the history teacher myself to let him know she could read and did understand it.
