[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not the OP, but I think her point is well-taken, though many posters seemed to miss it. See highlighted sentences above. It's also worth noting that her original post was around noon on Monday, when most of us in MoCo were basically waiting around to see when we would lose power. (As you'll recall, heaviest winds were predicted for Monday evening into early Tuesday.)

[b]FWIW, I'm the parent of two college students and a high-schooler. They are not slackers -- my oldest are both students at Ivy League schools. All 3 attend/ed a demanding high school[/b], and we are grateful that their teachers helped them to develop a strong work ethic and good time management skills. That said, when the power goes out, teachers need to be reasonable. I think that's all that OP was asking. And, also FWIW, in our experience, generally speaking the teachers who have teen and young adult children do seem to have a better sense of what can reasonably be expected of students.[/quote]

It is worth absolutely nothing to the non point you are trying to make.  A MCPS high school student that can't manage to function with 2 extra days of grace for homework and tests has got major problems and issues -- whatever those issues may be.  [/quote]
