[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes! Dawn Luedtke TORE THEM UP! She brought up how asleep at the wheel MCPS is with fostering and developing student accountability:

"Those due dates and deadline dates, I have not seen one of my students' classes enforce them."

"At the end of the day, if they exit MCPS schools feeling like a deadline doesn't matter at all, what service have we done them?"

A little off topic.  But my son's 10th teachers are adhering to deadline requirements.   At least, there are two teachers who do not give 50% for missing work but give actual zeroes.   And when my son has turned in some assignments late, he was knocked down 10% on the grade.   Which I agree with.  And honestly, he has done much better this year meeting those requirements, I think precisely because they are enforced.

Can't speak to any other teachers/grades/schools in MCPS, but my child's experience this year is a complete 180 from last year.[/quote]

YES!! Punishment will learn 'em! It's better they suffer than actually learn anything.[/quote]

Those are logical consequences.  Punishment is different.   There are always natural or logical consequences to inappropriate action or lack of action.  Some kids, like mine, need structure and clear expectations to do their best work.  I am not a child behavioral expert, but I think most kids (and people) want clear expectations and consequences.[/quote]
