That's what I don't understand. The Kishi parents aren't written as being deadbeats that don't give a shit about Claudia or Janine! It's not like they're saying "Susie, come over here." "Susie's not my name, it's Claudia." I don't understand the missing homework assignments. I've been reading a lot of old snarks lately--did Claudia blow off turning in homework in 7th grade during the early part of the series. How does that work? Is Claudia bullshitting her parents? "I've already done all my homework!"
I don't understand the Kishis either. They are suppose to be strict or at least very concern about school and grades. But then do nothing to help Claudia? Claudia got in trouble in the beginning of the series for blowing of her school which, that's when she had to start doing her homework with a family member. Then what? That just stopped? My parents were far from strict but if their kid was struggling in school they'd have done everything they could to help. Whether it was helping with the homework, finding a tutor, etc. Except for the early series helping Claudia with her homework every day, they don't do anything.
How has the school not contacted about all the missing homework before? I would think by at least a week of not turning in homework, there'd be contact with parents about the kid not turning in their work.
Good question. Why wasn't the school contacting the Kishis about Claudia not turning in her homework and/or doing badly on her tests. Did she ever have to get her parents to sign her test or homework? Or do they not do that anymore?
