[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. To those of you with the hardline approach, I don't get it. I work at a college and we are completely shut down today and tomorrow. Even the law school is shut down and has canceled classes. Don't most of the adults get off work when there's a storm like this? Sure, there are certain obligations that must be met in life, and I certainly agree we must prepare our kids to face that. All I'm asking for is some reason and balance. Sadly, this isn't easy to come by in many schools these days.

For those who are suggesting I've pressured my DC to be in these AP classes, you would be incorrect. He puts the pressure on himself to do well. I know he'll do what he needs to do to be successful. I don't think that's the point. This isn't necessary. It's pressure for pressure's sake, and who really needs that?

I know not eveyone will agree with me, but I know there are plenty of parents out there who understand.[/quote]

But these are assignments made some time ago, not assigned to fill the days off, right?

I really don't get it.  This is homework, and your kid has MORE time at home to complete it than he normally would.  Plus, the power didn't go out.  It seems like you are just irked because your kid doesn't get to screw around for two days.  But if there was school, he would have had to complete the assignments at night anyway, right?  So have him screw around during the day and then do the work at night, like he was going to have to do anyway.  What's the problem?  [/quote]
