Oh this is not going to be fun

I did a homebound for a student that went through to the end of the marking period. She was out for “anxiety”. As the end approached I asked the student if she was going to try to get back into school. She said yes. That was 6 weeks ago. Yesterday I received an email that her homebound had been extended and backdated to the start of 2nd marking period. I have to make up 4 weeks plus this week. But wait-there’s more! She is classified so she gets 2 hours per week instead of just 1. So she is currently owed 8 hours and then the 2 for this week. TEN HOURS. Okay fine I’ll get it done but her other teachers are going to be trying to catch up too. Logistically this is going to be a nightmare. I don’t understand why the mother waited 4 weeks to get the extension. This is going to be nuts.
