[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - it’s 9th grade and absolutely my son did reach out first to both teachers that he think it was due when school was closed and would be due by the next class, but the immediate response was that it was due Monday, no exceptions.     It was not assigned on Monday itself.  I just felt this was a bit punitive and like a “gotcha” on the kids, personally.

I actually did reach out to the counselor but not to complain about the teacher but just to inquire what was the schools policy because it’s not written. And that they should communicate more clearly especially to new students/ parents this policy before a snow day hits.  [/quote]

If it was assigned during a regular school day, and it was supposed to be submitted digitally, and it was due on Monday which happened to be a snow day--then of course your son should have completed the assignment. There is nothing "punitive" about this. Why in the world would your child not have been able to complete and submit the assignment?  Presumably he would have been working on this over the weekend regardless.

If the teacher had assigned something on a snow day without informing the students, that would be a completely different story. But as it is, you are being ridiculous, OP. A snow day is not a "get out of jail free" card. [/quote]
