Frequently Asked Questions
Can I turn in my homework late? For half credit?
No. No.
I know I did that assignment. Why does eSchoolBook say that I have a 0?
Perhaps you didn't turn it in, but the most common answer to that question is that you did not put your name on the paper. No name = ZERO.
Can I do extra credit?
Occasionally I offer opportunities for extra credit along the way, but I do not allow students to just do a few extra credit current events or write a report about a country for extra points.

Can I turn in my current events late?
If you turn in your current events one day late, you will lose 20 points. You cannot turn them in more than one day late. You will get a zero. I will not allow you to turn in current events late because you were absent yesterday or because "I forgot to remind you" or because you were busy or sick last night or over the weekend. This is an ongoing assignment, and you should not wait until the last minute to get it done. If you feel that your emergency was unique and that there was nothing you could have done to get your current events done, I may allow you an extra day. Those situations are rare, but you need to see me personally so I can decide for myself.
