[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are laughing their asses off that they are allowed to turn in work whenever they want as long as it is before the end of the grading period. It won't be so funny when they fail their college classes because schools have trained them that learning is the most important thing, no matter when it happens. [/quote]

This comment makes no sense.  There are still consequences to turning work in late, even if it’s not getting a zero.  If you end up with a C in a class instead of an A because it’s all late, it’s not so funny. [/quote]

What are they? My kid can turn in work up until the last day in the quarter without any late penalty. He can turn in work from the first week nine weeks later and he gets the same grade as everyone who turned it in when it was due.[/quote]
That’s a decision by the teacher, not MCPS policy.  MCPS policy [b]encourages [/b]penalties for work not submitted by the due date. [/quote]

MCPS policy specifically provides that work submitted after the due date but before the deadline may be reduced 10% or one full letter grade.  If your kid’s teacher is doing something different, it’s because they have made the individual decision not to penalize late work. [/quote]
