Do you think its wrong if a teacher won't accept a 160 point poster one day late?

i handed mine in so its not me, but someone else. i mean getting a 0/160 would fail you for the marking period,and maybe for the whole year. we had around 13 days to do it, and 3 of those days he let us work on them in class, i know its a long time to work on them but not taking it one day late is pretty harsh, the school's policy for late work is having 10% taken off every day. that can still give you a pretty good grade.

so tell me what you think

10 points will go to the person with the most reasoning and reasons for there reply

if its a school policy then your teacher cannot disagree.

i would argue with the teacher first, if he refuses to listen, go to the principal.

if its a policy, everyone within the school has to obey it.

however, next time, make sure you turn it in on time=]

you wont believe it but i turned in my assignment at he end of the period instead of the beginning n my teacher wont except it!!!

hope somebody listens to you:D

If it's the school policy to let them hand it in late, then the teacher should accept the poster, I guess.

In my school, the teachers make up the rules, and if they tell you they won't accept anything one day late, they mean it.

The kid had 13 days plus class time to work on a poster. I don't think not taking it one day late is harsh or mean, it's fair. What was this kid doing during that class time? He probably could've finished it during class. Maybe he'll learn his lesson and not slack off anymore.
It's usually at the teacher's decision to follow that late homework policy. It's actually pretty common for honors/AP classes to not be able to turn in late work.
If it contradicts the schools policy I am not sure the teacher should really be doing it.

If the teacher did not warn the students in advance that late posters would get 0 credit then he should definitely accept it, especially since his policy contradicts the schools policy and he didn't warn them.

If he did warn them, then I think its still a little harsh. I expect the teachers probably are allowed to make that decision on their own even if it differs from school policy, and 13 days is a long time to work on a poster. But still, a failing grade for turning in one assignment late is really strict. Also, if he didn't make the possibility of failing clear, it seems a little unfair.

I doubt there is much the student can do about it, but in my opinion its pretty harsh to fail a student for a whole grading period for turning in an assignment one day late.
Teachers need to follow their school policy, regardless of whether or not they agree with it. I am very comfortable saying this as I am a teacher myself. I do think that it is a little harsh to not accept the assignment at all as the student obviously did the work. However I do think that the student needs to be held accountable for their tardiness otherwise it is not fair to the kids who worked hard to get their assignment done on time. The teacher seemed to be very reasonable about the timeline he/she gave for completion of the assignment and went above and beyond providing time in class. The student should have shown their respect and appreciation for this by handing in the assignment on time. I think the student should lose 10% per day to teach them some accountability because in the real world when they are employed the employer will not tolerate much tardiness. Learning how to meet deadlines and perform under pressure are life skills and are just as important , if not more so, as the content of the assignment. I do not feel it was fair of the teacher to not accept the assignment. I think this friend of yours needs to speak to the teacher in a calm, respectful way about this situation. If there is still a problem I think it could be brought to the attention of the Principal in a mature, respectful way.
