That’s not clear either.

With the whole “deadline” thing, they are not obligated to take work that’s way late at all. In fact, I think they’re supposed to give a zero if the deadline isn’t met. I don’t know whether they have discretion.

I also don’t think this means they cannot take late work after 10/24. It just means they’re not obligated to. So if they want to, perhaps they have that discretion but a student can’t expect that they must.

In reality, there are a million policies but they are not followed with fidelity. My kids have a number of classes where the teacher isn’t meeting the minimum number of required all task and practice prep grades for the quarter. Teachers are also supposed to benchmark within the school and all the kids know of ones who are easier graders vs tougher graders.

At the end of the day, kids need to be on top of the grade book, develop skills to track due dates, and communicate with teachers. This is something I desperately wish middle schools would work on. [/quote]

My school says “not allowed” so that there is not peer pressure on teachers to do so where some extenuating circumstance doesn’t exist.[/quote]
