[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, at Deal every assignment is graded, including summer.  And if your student doesn’t turn in an assignment, automatic zero on Aspen.  Which is hard to come back from in terms of average grade for the course.

Of course, you *may* have some leeway as to whether it’s actually due first day of school.  (Maybe end of first week of school?). But that’s not for you to decide.

In my experience, much easier to have child read book, finish assignment on time.  [/quote]

Bull...this is not true, and zero's dont count as Zero in Aspen any more for all of DCPS, so there is also that! Many kids don't do the assignments; however, saying that there is still plenty of time for your kid to do it. [/quote]

huh?
The zeros do count as zeros at Deal.

Yes, they do count.  Kids get zeroes.

Come on, people. This assignment is cake. It’s a gift. An easy few points to start the year. Didn’t your kids’ ES yave a summer reading assignment for fifth grade?  [/quote]

DCPS got rid of zeros, teachers can enter a zero but it doesn't count as a zero in the gradebook, I can't be bothered to look it up but you can if you want. You can't fail DCPS unless you have very bad attendance or refuse to do anything!!!! This is not only the policy in DCPS but other jurisdictions also, I guess it's good faith effort or something, if you have your name on your paper you can can get a grade...[/quote]
