Do-over generation set to experience deadlock shock

     I agree with the article , the students should get marks deducted if they hand in an assignment late.
Why? Let's suppose a teacher assigned an assignment to his/ her students and make it due on a specific date. If the assignment was due a month before the student handed his/her work, the teachers still have to mark it. Would it be fair to the students who actually handed their work on time? No, of course not. I mean who would want to finish work early if they could make it better by finishing it later? No one would. I know the teachers in the article wanted to make those students feel good by marking their late assignment, but really those students need a lesson just to be fair.

     More importantly, their future depends on themselves. If those students continue to be like this, they aren't going to be ready to be an adult. When you are an adult you will understand how late assignments actually affects you, not only that but being late as well. For example: If you were late to catch the bus, the bus driver wouldn't wait for you. If you miss your plane, the pilot wouldn't   wait for you. You would waste your time. If you returned your library books late , the librarian would charge you money. You would loose money. If you miss your interview to apply for a job, the interviewer would go on to the next person. You would lose your chance. last but not least, even if you have a job and get your work done past the deadline several times, you'll get fired. Therefore, you will lose your job and will have to find another one. See what happens? That's why the teachers are deducting marks for late assignments and deducting credits as well, like in the article it says "For the first time, students who miss 20 percent of class time will now lose a credit".  By doing that, the students would learn a lesson and will build up a good habit of not handing in assignments late.

     The main reason I agreed to this article is because I know what's good for me and what's not. I Monica Jiang am a student and I want to do what's right for me.
