[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#1 benefit for us is that my kid knows that a deadline and a due date are the same thing. [/quote]
They are not technically the same thing.[/quote]

They are in college. Good luck to your kids there when they find out they can't talk their way out of a zero (do they even know what a zero grade is?).[/quote]

I'm a college prof.  Every fall there are students that think the same rules of HS apply in college.  All my colleagues hand out the syllabus and review it on the first day of class.  Due dates are clearly stated.  Late penalties are clearly stated as well as the time frame by which if an assignment is not submitted it will no longer be accepted. And every fall, freshman seem to think the rules do not apply to them.  I assure you I do not write the syllabus and policies just to have something to discuss with my colleagues.  At each stage of the educational lifecycle one of the responsibilities is to prepare the students for the next step.  In college, that next step is the workforce.  Try telling your boss that the work isn't done and you'll get it done later. [/quote]
