[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is in college, they’d better act like it is training for a real job. I’m trying to imagine them handing in work late there. It doesn’t matter if the work is “important” or not. If you can’t handle deadlines, you aren’t employable. [/quote]

I highly doubt that every single work task you do is a major document with a hard deadline. Sometimes work tasks are things like getting back to someone with some information. Those are the things that have a bit more flexibility as long as you communicate. I’m sure you were able to figure out the difference between major tasks with hard deadlines and more minor tasks with slightly flexible deadlines What is so hard to understand about this? It seems like you are being purposely obtuse because you like to argue. I bet you’re a lawyer.[/quote]

Lol. I wish I earned what a lawyer does! I’m a teacher and plenty of colleagues have been put on PIPs for not making deadlines. Last year a teacher forgot to test a student by the deadline for a state test. Not good. She was out on a PIP and now wishes she quit at the end of last year because she’s miserable jumping through all of the hoops. I’m not sure why you would want your kids to learn that it’s no big deal to turn in work late but then again, you work for the government and can give everyone else the middle finger and nothing will ever happen. The rest of us have consequences for missed deadlines. [/quote]

I’m not a government worker. That’s a different poster. That teacher sounds not very smart. Administering a state test is obviously something that has to happen by a certain date, much like a college student taking a final exam. K-12 teachers are micromanaged to a greater extent than a lot of other professions. [/quote]
