Louis: One of those reasons is not "I didn't get my report done on time." I think that you're generally right in that having some flexibility in deadlines is important. But at the same time (and you've agreed with this too), students, as do we all, need to learn that the inability to meet a deadline can have real consequences. Teaching them (or we ourselves learning) that deadlines are NEVER necessary to be honored, is a disservice. David W.
