[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh no! Not a C! (clutching pearls). Just kidding. My kid's private school has late penalties in every class. One day late= half credit. Two days late= a zero. A real zero. Not a default 50%. Limits applied consistently are part of why I pay money for private school.[/quote]

You sound like a teacher I had in college who told us that if you missed a deadline at orked you would be fired!  Not exactly true.  While I do think kids should be accountable, a strict inflexible policy does not promote learning.  I would rather the kid did the work and got it in late then failed the class.[/quote]

I would get put on a PIP if I missed more than two deadlines. I'm glad my teachers taught me to respect deadlines. Unless your child has a trust fund, they will probably have a boss one day. They should be prepared for that.[/quote]

Oh no not a PIP!  Is that like a sticker chart in Kindergarten?  In all the professional environments I have worked in, sure deadlines are important but it is the real world.  Things are beyond anyone's control.  Illnesses, shipping delays, technology issues, there are many reasons things do not go according to plan and might be a day late.  A good boss is aware and supports staff.[/quote]
