[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both things can be true: Sometimes there are legit reasons for being behind and turning in work late and other times a lot of people are BSing and trying to get away with murder.[/quote]

Unless you don't specify why the work was turned in late, people are going to assume it was not a legit reason because, let's face it, [b]so many kids turn it in late because there are no consequences for turning it in late.

My kid is in a magnet. Really smart kid. DC will turn in assignments late because they know they won't get marked down for it.   I've explained to DC that they cannot do this in college.  It doesn't work that way.  Towards the beginning of the quarter, the grades are not great.  DC tells me not to worry because they will eventually turn in all the assignments.  Few weeks later, DC turns in all the assignments late, and the grade goes back up to an A.

[b]This type of policy isn't helping kids for the future.[/b] It just makes them lazy.[/quote]

It's bad for kids and bad for society. Teachers and principals got fed up with clueless parents and politicians blaming them for kids not graduating on time.

And here we are. [/quote]
