First of all, we only have Latin on Thursdays and Fridays. On Thursdays we have 8 hours and are therefore not allowed to have any tasks for the next day. So our teacher gives us a task that we could normally bring with us on Thursdays. But it's not like that in Latin. Because he obviously liked the concept of homeschooling very much, he gives us a task on Thursday teams that we then have to hand in on Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m.
I know it's not that bad because we have almost a whole week, but since then he has always given us all the tasks and a text in a week of a lesson. In addition, there are people in our class who do not always know how to use their laptops etc.
And if we hand in the task too late, we get one of two points deducted, theoretically even if we hand in only a minute later. If we then have a plausible excuse, by the way, we will not be believed.
We have already asked him whether he can set it for later, but no: He thinks that is funny and compares it to as if our director told him he wanted some results for 12:00 p.m. And if he asked if it wasn't 14 He would throw him out of the room laughing. Yes / Yes. He just thinks he's funny…
Sorry for the long text.
The question is above and like to write what you think of it.
Yes, you can do that as a teacher. And you can be glad that it is a task with a week in between. Imagine someone who says we don't do any homework, but we do a learning goal check every hour. You would not get out of learning anymore.
Well Every Friday after work and vacation… And we only have two hours a week, that is every other hour.
Latin. Sounds like high school to me. Maybe you wanted to study at some point. It is no different there. So: suck it up buttercup.
You don't always have to do everything at the last minute. Especially if you have a week. And yes, the deadline is 8:00 p.m. And if you have a week in total, it's really hard to come with any reason why you didn't manage to deliver something.
It was no different when we were studying. If the upload date of the tasks was after the deadline, they were even rejected by the system. It's enough to be a second too late.
It depends on which age group you are. From grade 8 I think you can ask for that. With us in English, grade 11, we always have English on Wednesdays and then have to send it off by Tuesday 8 p.m. However, everyone also has the technical ability to do this. I think your teacher is only allowed to do this if everyone has the opportunity, otherwise not! I would urgently discuss that with him again and explain to him nicely that this is not possible due to the lack of technology, because not everyone has access, if he still thinks he does not want to change it, I would speak to the class leader or someone else.
Because of the thing with the beginning, be glad that he only deducts two points from you, theoretically he can even say after 1 minute too late that he does not accept it, so rates it 6. But you have to remember homework may not be rated in the second. Whether that is morally correct is another question. I don't like it.
No that's half of the points. There are only 2 points in total. He just looks to see if we have done the tasks we should and when we handed them in.
So if I got that right:
Your teacher gives you assignments on Fridays and wants you to not show them on Thursdays in analog format, but digitally by Wednesday (8:00 p.m.). Have I summarized that correctly?
What's the problem now? I can't find anything illegal about it. On the contrary:
If a late submission "only" leads to a point deduction and is not automatically rated as "not done", you are still lucky!
Neither can I explain to myself what "plausible reasons" could keep you from doing your homework for a week. Even when your internet is gone at home, every child today has a smartphone and is technically savvy enough to send a photo of a homework assignment. I wouldn't let my students tell me any fairy tales either.
CONCLUSION: I still haven't understood your problem and I think your teacher's approach is completely correct.
I've tried everything to log in with my cell phone. But anyway. I had no Wi-Fi and live in a dump where there's no network. Of course, we only get points deducted if we submit it later.
But it's a strange coincidence when you postpone your homework until the last moment and your internet is turned off on that very day. Don't you think
