Scenario: It's Monday morning. You have to call Jemiah Smith, a student that has been "flagged" as a non-worker for the first time. You remember speaking with this parent before and knows that she has 6 children, two of whom are 15 and 17. When mom answers the phone, you hear children seemingly playing in the background yet mom sounds relaxed. You assume...

• Ah ha! Mom has "checked out" and could care less whether the assignments get submitted.

• It's break time. Time for mom to upload the assignments.

• The children must be working on a fun activity and are waiting to complete it before submitting the assignment.

• The child is probably a non-worker because there is no structure.
