[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had multiple kids out last week for early spring break with MoCo rather than DCPS. Two had the audacity today to ask me to excuse them from a week’s worth of assignments. I looked them back and said, you have 24 hours. [/quote] You’re being generous, too! You could have simply said no. I think parents assume we’ll be extra lenient. After all, it’s the parents who decided to pull the kids; the students didn’t decide to miss class. Still, lines have to be drawn and some families are quite entitled.[/quote] And it is extra work on the teacher. It is not like your child is out for a week and the work goes away. Now the teacher needs to re-teach, integrate missed assignments into grading etc. These same families are going to be frustrated when their kid does not get glowing recommendations for private / application High Schools. The marking period ends today. Anything not turned in - they get a 50. [/quote]
