[quote=Anonymous]Let me guess. The OP’s kid went to a public HS where there were no penalties (or lax ones) for late assignments? This is how schools are doing are disservice to students that plus lax standards and inflated grading. College is not where students should be learning what it really means to be a student. My kid goes to a private school and being in public. He learned by Thanksgiving of 9th grade that late was one minute after the deadline. If he didn’t bring completed homework to class, bringing it after class meant it was late and subject to the late penalties in the syllabus. During DL, the teachers all started off with the speech that everything was due at 11:59. They said to avoid issues, make sure to upload assignments by 11:30nat the latest. If they had still had issues uploading at 11:40, send the teacher an email with the attached work and take a screenshot of the upload attempt. This was taught and learned at age 14. I’d be pissed if my kid’s HS wasn’t as serious about this as his college was going to be. Maybe going to a boy’s school is a good thing. They know what boys are like so they teach them and then enforce their lessons. Boys are known for procrastination. They teach them early and often that it won’t pay to leave it until the last minute. [/quote]
