No one was allowed

They had to say “the suck”

43. To allow for circumstances where a student is genuinely unable to make
a request in advance of making a late submission, there will be a delay
of seven days before a penalty is applied. A student may submit details
of mitigating circumstances during that time, with as much detail as
possible and supporting documents where appropriate. If illness is the
reason for the late submission a doctor’s letter is always required.
Mitigating circumstances must relate to unforeseen and unavoidable
events occurring on (or about) the day of submission.
If suitable mitigating circumstances are not presented by the student
within the time allowed, the policy requires that marks be deducted as
follows:
! Up to 24 hours late, loss of 5% of the mark awarded;
! Between 1 day and 7 days late, loss of 10% of the mark awarded;
! Between 8 days and 14 days late, loss of 15% of the mark awarded;
! Between 15 days and 21 days late, loss of 20% of the mark awarded;
! More than 21 days late, work disallowed.
44. Policy on late work
Each student will have a total of 4 free late
(calendar) days applicable to any assignment
(including the lit review and project milestone)
except the final project paper. These can be used at
any time, no questions asked. Each 24 hours or
part thereof that a homework is late uses up one
full late day. Once these late days are exhausted,
any homework turned in late will be penalized
20% per late day. Late days are not applicable to
final projects.
45. Some instructors penalize any late paper that is not justified by a
documented illness or other acceptable excuse. Some allow
students to hand in one late paper without penalty, if the student
informs the instructor in writing before the paper is due and turns
the paper in within a week or by a specified extended deadline.
Others allow one "excused" late paper but penalize
additional late papers up to a full grade per day. Penalties
range from a third of a grade per calendar day or class day
to a full grade per day late. In no case should a penalty exceed
more than one grade per day. Also, penalties should be applied
consistently throughout the quarter for all students.
47. Why?
We must provide feedback
to affect a response.
Grading is that feedback.
If the grade is only at the end, kids do not change and adapt in time
48. 1. Grades should typically be updated online once a week.
Students and parents need routine feedback.
Larger projects may take longer to grade.
49. 2. As a guideline, classwork and homework
should equal approximately 60% of a student
grade, with tests and quizzes comprising the
rest.
Some models might include: 60/40 or 30/30/40 or 30/30/20/20, with a
balanced approach that doesn’t overrate either tests or classwork/homework.
50. 3. Coding: AB, INC, MI
These codes will give parents more information when they access grades.
51. Grade 4 and up
4. Late work: missing assignments should be marked
at a maximum of 70%, losing 10% point value per
week, until the trimester or quarter ends.
At the end of a grading period (quarter or trimester), the score becomes permanent.
*In class assignments may be given a “no makeup” option - these are typically completed in less than one class.
52. 5. In the place of “extra credit”, meaning additional work done
outside the normal scope of class, students should be able to
earn bonus points for finishing and turning in work before
established deadlines.
This encourages students to finish their work early and have
time for feedback before the assignment is due.
The idea is to get kids finishing work earlier and not have the option of raising a grade at the “last second”
53. 6. Emails or messages from parents
or students regarding grades should
be returned within three business days.
Ideally, answers will happen in one business day - but
sometimes folks are busy with projects and events.

68. The Cat's Diary
Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They
dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or
some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations
perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my
strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt
todisgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a
mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would
strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities.
However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good
little hunter" I am.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed
in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear
the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to
the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to
