[quote=Anonymous][quote]How will this harm your child?[/quote] Relaxed deadlines WILL harm my child. He is barely motivated to do his schoolwork during DL. If he has until the end of the marking period, he will put off turning in assignments until the last minute (unless I literally sit with him and force him to do the work -- and since he is in middle school, and I have a full time job and another child, this "solution" doesn't work for me). That means he won't get feedback until after the marking period closes, and will have no opportunity for the "re-teaching and re-assessing" process that is actually working fairly well right now. His grades will suffer, as will his understanding of the topics he is supposed to be learning about. I can't imagine teachers want to get hundreds of assignments right before grade books close either. This is just bad all around.[/quote]
