[quote=Anonymous]I'm a former 6th grade teacher and now a principal. I'm sorry this happened. The real question is how one lousy assignment can lower a grade to a B. I'm assuming he has A's on everything else. What was so special about this paper? The second question I have is why such a harsh penalty and why there is no opportunity for getting the work done? Is it more important that he shows he knows the material or that he turns in papers on time? I'm hoping the teacher answers with the former and not the latter. Whether or not he turned it in or whether it was lost isn't important anymore. He should have an opportunity to make it up with a minor penalty for being late. If I don't pay my taxes on April 15, I still have to pay them. And I have to pay a penalty. His work should be treated in the same manner. [/quote]
