[quote=Anonymous]Yes. Many middle schools insist that teachers give as much grace as possible and dissuade teachers from enacting the late penalty. My school still uses the 50%. I hate it. It does instill horrific work efforts that will shock many students upon entering high school - as I know high schools are using the traditional (0-100) grading scale. This is the time to learn these skills where there is room to recover from working towards learning how to persevere through difficult work and/or time management. Not high school when the credits count. We coddle them waaaaay too much here. The effort kids put into work is abhorrent. And they expect 100%. When they get to me, I grade for accuracy. They don’t like it. [/quote]
