[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are talking about adults who will be out in the work world very soon. I'd give one day's grace period but after that, you get nada. As far as what the student learned, they learned a very valuable lesson. Turn is stuff on time.[/quote]

12 yo middle schoolers are not adults about to be out in the work force. [/quote]

Yes, but this is a lesson that most of us learned once in middle school and then we moved on.  You are infantilizing teenagers.[/quote]

I guess because I went to private school (Sidwell) we had due dates and deadlines 30 years ago.  We learned that work didn't disappear because we slacked.

Well aren’t you special. 🙄[/quote]

I didn't think I was.  I've attended private school in the US, and public school in Canada, and a T10 college.  And I've taught charter school, and had kids in private.  Due dates and deadlines were how it worked in all those places, although those weren't always the words used.   So learning that it wasn't a thing in regular public schools until recently is a little shocking.  I had no idea that public schools didn't always do this. But apparently, being prepared for college in this way makes me "special".
