[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 567075, member: 1722"] Well, she did finish the project competently and on time. And the teacher used another student's project as an example (with the students knowledge and permission) as the other student had not colored anything (this would have automatically subtracted 32 points from the grade right off the top, so the best grade possible would be a 78. The teacher has a pojicy of subtracting 10 points for each day you turn in homework late, so he told the student to take it back and color the pictures and lose 10 points rather than 32 off the top. He made sure the kids understood the logic so they could plan better and even told them that sometime they may have to accept a lower grade and do something "good enough" rather than expect perfect grades in life. Duckie said the student told the teacher that he had lost his colored pencils and the teacher told him he would get him a new set at the end of class to keep at home, and told the class to talk to him or their parents if they didn't have the necessary supplies to finish their work properly. I love a teacher that gently teacher life lessons. [/QUOTE]
