The time to complain was when the teacher wouldn't accept the assignment the next day due to chrome book failure, not at the end of the marking period.

Some have. The teachers who assign writing either miss that deadline or have stopped giving as many assignments. Feedback on writing assignments has really dried up.


Writing need more than ten days to be graded. There’s no enough time in school to grade and give good feedback on the paper for 130 students.

Most don’t. They assign a grade they hope won’t be challenged and just move on. This is one reason behind grade inflation.

Agreed, it’s too much. Kid doesn’t turn in work, shows up in interim grade. If it continues kid flunks. Parents get interim grades, they should parent.

Interestingly, this was the policy at my public high school in the 2000s. College (top public school) and MA/PhD program (Ivy) were soooo much more lenient. Too much so actually. Private colleges in particular are teaching no accountability….

I had some professors who would accept late work for partial credit.


Only at crappy schools.


Only at schools that value education.

Elon Musk is en route to being a trillionaire and his work is always late.



He’s the boss and it’s his company. He can do what he wants when he wants.

This is a ridiculous post. OP, focus on your kid and make sure she does her work. If the teacher refused to accept the assignment that was one day past the deadline, I’m guessing your kid usually wastes class time and spends it chatting or on her phone. Teachers are more flexible with mishaps when they know a student is genuinely trying

Your dis’s guidance counselor can inform him of how to file an appeal. Incorrect grades can be fixed.

Why aren’t the students being held accountable for turning in late work, missing assignments, not reporting Chromebook issues in a timely manner? Its always easy to blame someone else than take responsibility for your own actions.


OMG grow up. Parents aren't some monolith that has set out to get angry at MCPS "no matter what they do". It is not up to parents to set grading policies. It is up to MCPS. MCPS needs to stop blaming parents for its poor choices.
