[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What school?

This thread freaked me out and I flagged it for my freshman whose school didn’t resume classes until yesterday. My kid confirmed that all assignments aren’t due until the next class (block schedule).

If this screws your kid’s gpa, you might want to escalate it.

Some teachers really are jerks who need to be reined it.

Your last line is so ridiculously offensive.

I told my students (repeatedly) that their week-long assignment remains due on Monday, even if there is snow. I emailed that info. I put it on my website, directly linked to the school’s policy. Am I a jerk?

We’re on a tight schedule. I have to get students ready for their AP exam. We can’t take long leisurely breaks, nor should we when we have modern technology to help us.

If we fall behind and students aren’t prepared in May, would I also be a jerk in your eyes?

Sounds like you provided sufficient notice, but others might not have provided such clear guidance. [/quote]

DP. Students literally ask you questions even after you've just answered them. Ten times.

Op's kid may well have had notice, just didn't process it.[/quote]
