[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately this is the kind of thing that happens at private schools.  I went to a public school and learned that deadlines are real.  In college they were real, or so I thought.  In grad school (and teaching) I learned that there were two realities: deadlines for people who respect the rules and then flexible deadlines for entitled students who knew they could push back and ask for extensions for basically any reason.

I guess MoCo is going the private school way and tbh it’s not wrong, but I do hate it.[/quote]

You are joking.  My kid's private school gave you half credit the day after and none after that.  [/quote]

It was my experience when I taught college students that private high school grads were more likely to think deadlines were suggestions.  I have no doubt there are exceptions and variations.[/quote]

My DH is a professor at a Catholic university. His observation is that Catholic HS grads understand and respect deadlines more than public school students. He rarely has Catholic school grads trying to get him to accept late work. How does he know? He has students fill out questionnaires at the beginning of each course and one of the questions is about their educational background. [/quote]
