[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In so many posts about grading late work, people jump on posters saying "your kid shouldn't be turning work in late."

Well, there are a gazillion reasons why make-up work might be coming in late, even toward the end of the marking period. I know kids who were hospitalized for a couple of weeks and they turn in work late, kids who get COVID and are out for 5-10 days, kids who are immunocompromised, kids who have family issues, kids struggling with mental health and attendance.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons a kid would have work being turned in late. Maybe your perfectly healthy kid has perfect attendance and never misses a day of school or an assignment but that isn't the case for everyone and people whose kids struggle more don't deserve to be jumped on.[/quote]

Kids with mental health issues/health issues will generally have an IEP or 504 that gives them extra time/flexibility.  If kids aren't terribly sick with covid/colds they can still go online and do the work.  And, if there is a need, you communicate with the teachers.  [/quote]
if you think every kid with challenges has an iep or 504, I have a bridge in Brooklyn...[/quote]
