How often does homework get posted here?

Long-term assignment study guides are posted when they are 
given.  Daily 
assignments are posted on the classroom board, and also discussed 
during 
class, so that students can write the daily assignments in their 
Agendas.

Why isn't homework posted daily?

This website is a reference source which is updated periodically, 
not daily. 
Students should be maintaining information about their homework 
in 
their Agendas. Keeping track of daily work is an important life-
skill 
students need to acquire before high school.

My child says the due date is different from what you put here.

Ask to see where this different due date is written in the 
student's 
Agenda.  This would indicate that the teacher has made an 
announcement in 
class.  Without the assignment already written down, the student 
is relying 
on memory -- and our student's memories are often faulty.

Why won't you accept 'broken printer' as an excuse for late work?

There are often mysterious outbreaks of printer problems just on 
the nights 
before homework is due.  Students know what alternatives they 
have to get 
the work done - hand write it from the screen (then type it at 
school 
later), copy to a flash drive and print at school, or e-mail to 
the 
teacher.  

When a problem comes up, students gain much from finding a 
solution, rather 
than making excuses.
