[quote=Anonymous]I have a 10th grader. What's the deal with deadlines and due dates? My kid hasn't intimated that there's been any change in those. She seems to know when stuff is due, and does it before it's due. When her grades dip, it's because the online grading system puts a zero as placemarker, and she knows it's not her real grade. No stress.

This is NOT hard for regular kids, people. And the grading is much more fair than it was before. Stop whining. How are your kids going to function in life if they can't deal with K-12 grading?

If your kid has an IEP, and grading policies appear to be muddled up for that group, then maybe advocacy with the PTA, and the various SN parenting groups that exist MCPS-wide, might be helpful. My SN kiddo with extended time and an IEP was able to survive high school during the pandemic, when MCPS started using *multiple* platforms for high schoolers, that each had to be consulted every day to check on assignments and due dates. It was HELL, until he got the hang of it. I'm sure this current system isn't as bad.
