[quote=Anonymous]I would rather they have a class on study skills, organization, etc. My nephew had a class like that in 6th and it was amazing. I actually don’t think they should dock points for not being organized if you’re not going to actually teach that skill. They just expect kids to pick it up as they go. If this is about preparing kids for the future, they shouldn’t be left to flounder by just repeatedly getting bad grades, or by not expecting organization at all. Plus I do think that middle and high school expects more in the way of organization than college and the workforce. Juggling the expectations of six or seven different teachers (their grading system, where they assign the assignments and how to access them, how to hand them in, their policy on allowing late work if you talk to them in advance, etc. it’s kind of a mess and I don’t actually think employers could get away with expecting something like this out of employees).
