Prohibit Teachers From Assigning New Graded Work The Week Of The End Of An Academic Quarter.

 

This bill will permit both teachers and students to have time to catch up on grading and late or missing assignments

 

Most students start turning in missing work towards the end of the academic quarter meaning teachers are suddenly

bombarded with multiple assignments to grade, and students are also given review tests and quizzes at the end of the

quarter giving them lots of stress and anxiety about work completion, this bill gives students time to complete missing

assignments, finalize projects, and if needed revise assignments that did not grade well, meanwhile this bill also

permits teachers to have time to grade and help students with points of confusion.
