[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the ultimate goal to have children turn in work on time or is to learn the subject material? You can want it to be both, but if only one is happening, you need to choose. [/quote] It is not that simple. First of all, retakes are ok on some things and to a point where knowledge of the material is demonstrated. It shouldn't not be allowed on late HW at all. What is happening is kids are retaking things, turning in tons of things late, and still getting As and Bs in classes with kids who are sticking to the deadlines and doing the work. That's not fair. And yes, life is not but this is one of those things that sort of always has been. Do work = get credit. Don't do it = then no. And lbh, grades are a differentiator for college. Why should the performers have to be judge on par with those who are not but just appear that they are b/c they're allowed to turn things in a week late (thus, getting a week's extension) for full credit. It's BS. [/quote]
