[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So? I was annoyed that my kid who came home for the entire week had multiple assignments in every class due the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving and also had homework due the following week to stress about over the weekend. It was stressful for her and it limited our time together. [b]As a professor, I had assignments due the Friday before break and I know many colleagues who also assigned work due a day or two before the holiday who won't grade over the weekend[/b]. Then again, I would've been annoyed if my kid had had everything due after the holiday break. I think it's fine that some parents are annoyed. Meanwhile, my husband is annoyed that we didn't get the following Monday off as well, because he and our kids love to watch NFL games on Sunday and he was sad to see them go before they could watch together. (My kids do report that many of their classes were half empty today anyhow, something to keep in mind for future breaks.) [/quote]

Where and what do you teach? Just curious.  DS is an athlete at Big Ten (in season), and he had games in the run up, along with exams up until Wednesday. Then work over the break, then back for practice.  In all classes. He's a senior, it' been this way for all years except COVID.[/quote]
