[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers game the system right back atcha by holding on to late work until the day before grades are due so kids don’t have the opportunity to retake or raise their grades so there's that.[/quote]

Some late work is actual past the deadline work. In that case, it should not be graded at all.

Some late work requires a teacher to make a new assignment because the teacher has already gone over the answers in class so that students who did it on time could learn from their mistakes. In that case, the teacher has made the original assignment, the make up assignment, and the retake assignment. You want the teacher to make a 4th assignment?

In some cases, the students have a real reason for the late work. Most teachers understand and will help them out. Sometimes students are late because they are not coming to class. They are coming to school and roaming the halls.

Bottom line, as much as we would like teachers to have unlimited extra chances, there will always be only 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. There is a limit to what anyone can do. [/quote]
