Curious with those teaching hybrid/ online high school or college? Are you all having trouble getting students turning things in? I am and many other teachers are worrying about higher failure rates due to this. Are you backing off covering topics in cirriculum? I think that may be a way but also we get worried that they won't be able to understand the materials for the next class. Like going for Algebra 1 to Algebra II. Just curious for some insight and hope all is well with the other teachers on here.

I'm a parent of a 9th grader and we, my husband and I, have to be on him like white on rice.
He has excellent grades.. partly because of us. I check his google classroom everyday making sure he is on top of it. I don't do any work for him but we make sure he isn't falling behind. In math we signed up for purplemath.com and mathway.com to help him and it has worked wonders.
But I know many parents don't do this or simply don't have the time. I think this pandemic and remote learning hurts more kids than we even want to think about.

San Diego schools are now 'woke' and progressive - they won't penalize students for turning in homework late (or at all)

Cuz, homework, is you know, racist.

You are amazing and this must be hard to do with your other responsibilities as well! This is hard on everyone and thank you for what you do!

Oh my gosh! That is crazy. So they don't have to turn it in? How can that be good for the students?

Thank You!
It is tough and stressful. We both work full time hours but different shifts so one of us is home most of the time. We have a 6 year old as well and we really have to pay attention to her simply because those kids will not focus or sit still. The first 15 minutes the teacher has to tell little "Elliot" to stop running around and sit still.

Ridiculous.
Here in Chicago only 1 out of 6 minority students are actually attending school online. This is horrible. What are they doing instead??
This is not good at all.

That's the good question! What are they doing. Usually if the young are not attending school they are up to no good!

Seems the practice of Late-Turn-In = Zero is banned in K-12?

Very Bad Practice to teach the students this.

Most serious Colleges still practice Late = Zero.

I agree! In college, its a zero. But I guess too many would get's F's because of this. Then students go to college unprepared. You are right on.
