[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.

That is an important lesson. It was thrown to the wayside in Spring 2020. It’s been a struggle to get it back. Erring on the side of the student should mean giving them an opportunity to turn in the work, not a one shot deal.

It’s a bit surprising that an MCPS teacher doesn’t know this policy long pre-dates the pandemic. [/quote]
