TGIF because I have a job.
TGIF because I have a great wife and wonderful children to go home to today!

How late is too late?  The struggle for teachers is always how much time do you allow a student to complete assignments. Especially for summer High School summer school classes which I have been informed are "all about credit recovery." Even though I was given a standard grading rating system directly onto my online home page I am directed to score papers rather generously. Whatever, I'll adjust, I'll adapt. Hopefully the students are learning something. At the very least they are learning if they don't do it no one will do the work for them.
