[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh no! Not a C! (clutching pearls). Just kidding. My kid's private school has late penalties in every class. One day late= half credit. Two days late= a zero. A real zero. Not a default 50%. Limits applied consistently are part of why I pay money for private school.[/quote] You sound like a teacher I had in college who told us that if you missed a deadline at orked you would be fired! Not exactly true. While I do think kids should be accountable, a strict inflexible policy does not promote learning. I would rather the kid did the work and got it in late then failed the class.[/quote] I would get put on a PIP if I missed more than two deadlines. I'm glad my teachers taught me to respect deadlines. Unless your child has a trust fund, they will probably have a boss one day. They should be prepared for that.[/quote]
