Oh right, I’m sure they let the kids sink or swim when it comes to college admissions.

Probably not an issue because of the the clear high expectations.

Not a "F" = 63%, no work "WS" = 50%, "tardy" is actually 5 minutes after the tardy bell, and any missing assignment must be allowed to be completed at any time with an 8% max deduction. [/quote]

yup.  My kid goes to a "big3" private that starts at 8am.  If you walk into the kid's ELA class a minute late on a day that an assignment is due, it is dropped by 5%. 
8:01 arrival?  That 90% is now an 85%. It took my kid one paper to start arriving to school by 7:50 (to allow a buffer zone for whatever might come up). [/quote]

This sounds terrible... As if not being a couple of minutes late counts as much as the quality of your work. Building rule following rigid automatons... [/quote]

Assignment grades should be based on assignments. Being late should be handled differently, shown to be disrespectful to the teacher and your peers. Otherwise what? If you're late to meet your friends it's ok because there's no loss of points? [/quote]
