[quote=Anonymous]I think it is the stress of thinking that you have to complete an assignment when you may lose power.  Looking back is easy, two days with power - plenty of time.  In fact more time.  However, I am in an area where we all lose power when someone sneezes near a power line.  Had the family lost power, that would have been needlessly stressful for the student to complete without electricity (computers, research, etc.).  I think some of the answers of "what is the big deal" on the side of getting it done, can be countered by "what is the big deal" for moving it back.

When I was young and there was a snow day, we went sledding. I suppose work was done if something was due, but we certainly didn't create an 8 hour workday out of a snow storm.  What was the harm? None.  Me and my siblings graduated, went Ivy, graduated with honors and went on to be productive members of society.  Moving a deadline will not create a generation of slackers.

So what if OP wants to vent because someone thinks their high school test or report on who knows what is so important that kids should bend over backwards to finish?  Some may not agree, but I certainly do.  As OP said, WTH.[/quote]
