[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the new homework policy permit or require teachers to give zeros for late homework?  TIA[/quote]

Yes they can, but many hoops have to be jumped through to do so.  [/quote]

What are the hoops? Curious as this had large impact on my child last marking period.  Submitted two days late and had an attempt.[/quote]

Just good practice for college where professors aren’t going to coddle your kids like public schools do. [/quote]

I never had homework due in a college class.  I had writing assignments and exams.  So much more substantive.   Turning in a daily sheet of something that you’ve written something on is not really a life skill that is useful after HS.  But I get why it’s helpful for teens who would otherwise just procrastinate and realize they didn’t know the material the day before the test. [/quote]

I don't know what college you went to where there was NO homework throughout the entire semester, but that's definitely not the norm. It's definitely not daily like in HS, but there are practice/prep assignments. They might just be graded for completion rather than accuracy, but professors do assign HW.[/quote]
