[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite frankly I’m grateful the grading and deadlines are lenient this year.  We have 2 DDs in high school and they have experienced a definite heightening of depression and anxiety due to the restrictions and isolation of the pandemic, even though we try to get them out safely.  They know they are missing so much, especially our senior, and it has impacted their ability to handle school workloads and deadlines.  The lenient grading and deadlines for this year are  helping preserve their college application GPAs from previous years and helping them have success despite all the things working against them.

I am sorry your DDs are having mental health issues during this time but the lenient grading scale and expectations are going to end up graduating kids who haven’t learned anything in almost two years.  That’s half of their high school careers doing almost no work and therefore no learning.  I’m all for extended due dates and allowing kids revisions and such but we keep sending kids to college unprepared and that is how they end up taking on debt and not graduating.  It’s a terrible cycle created by our HS policies.[/quote]

Just tell your kids to hand in their stuff on time. The extended deadlines are for the slacker kids. And what school do your kids go to where they haven't learned anything?[/quote]
