[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me what the current rules are with respect to the following scenario:

All Task assignment due on a particular date.  Due date and deadline are essentially the same day, or one day apart.  
Kid does not turn it in -- either forgets to turn it in or is out sick or whatever and it just falls through the cracks.
Assignment is not posted on Studentvue until weeks later, when it shows up as a zero and student realizes it is missing and tries to turn it in.  
Teacher either refuses to take it and gives a zero, or takes it only at 50%.

Is this the policy now?  I thought if student got it in before interim or end of quarter, teacher was supposed to take it now.  But I admit I am totally confused about what the policy is now.  My objection is mainly that there is/was no way for the student to know that the teacher didn't get it.  In some classes, it shows up immediately as a "missing" assignment on studentvue, but in other classes, it doesn't show up for weeks.[/quote]

The way for the student to know the teacher didn't get it is the fact that they themselves didn't turn it in.  You know that we all lived before there were on-line systems and had to manage our own homework?[/quote]

In some classes, the teacher wants homework turned in electronically.  Unfortunately McPS doesn’t have a great system for this so each teacher is using a different system and they don’t always work perfectly.[/quote]
