Make a Prediction Explains what might be the consequences of the action or the inaction

  5. A Call to Action Teachers should accept late work. We are not perfect and make mistakes. Sometimes, our personal lives interfere. Only you, Mr. Rossiter, have the authority to alter this insane rule.Change the NoLate Homework Rule!

  6. A Solution I think that revoking the No LateHomework Rule is a good idea.If students repeatedly turn work in late, reduce the points or put a limit on howlate work can be turned in.Don’t punish us all.

  7. A Compromise Even if you don’t agree with my position, at least take this into consideration:Allow teachers to make a decision about accepting latehomework.Teachers can decide the penalty.

  8. A Prediction Our No Late Homework Rule should be illegal. It makes us stressful, hopeless, depressed, and resentful.If this rule continues, many students will be unable to participate in after school activities, discipline behaviors will increase, and gradeswill drop.Is such a rule worth the problems they inspire?
