Message: <blockquote data-quote="Belen" data-source="post: 9636214" data-attributes="member: 1405">There is no disciplinary action taken. If they never turn in the assignment, then they get a 50. In most cases, even the 5 day late acceptance is waived and they are given time at the end of the quarter to complete assignments.The parents are not even notified if the kid is missing assignments. I care, so I use the parent backpack account to monitor grades and then ask my kids if I notice things out of line. I use it to monitor major assignments and ask about projects to stay involved; however, backpack is optional. I imagine that if there were serious ongoing issues, then I would be notified by the school.Personally, I feel turning in work on time is a respect issue which is why my kids get grounded if they do not do the work. The last time my son was caught not doing homework that was taken as a grade, he was given extra math work at home for the rest of the quarter to make up the grade. I do this because I care as a parent and want my kids to succeed in school. It is also why we have always stressed joy in reading and read to our kids every night when they were young.If the schools here were taking disciplinary actions, then I would agree with you about not reducing the max grade; however, I see no evidence of any disciplinary actions for not doing the work and I have talked with my son's friends who largely do not care if they do the assignments. The kids not doing the work do not seem to suffer any consequences other than a worse grade.</blockquote>
