I am a teacher and I do allow extra time for my students. However, my high schooler could totally benefit from you as a teacher. Due to medication she has a memory issue. Last year her teachers were caring teachers who understood her problem, allowing her to turn in work late. Asking her for it instead of assuming she knows it is due that day. Thanks to a 504 she has an extra day for daily and 2 days for major grades. But this year she didn't fall upon those amazing caring teachers who took the time to ensure she was still successful through her medical issues. I see a truly caring teacher and applaud you for your part in making your students successful.

By not accepting late work, we encourage students to work diligently and that our time and theirs is valuable. There will always be other chances to show knowledge and understanding, but taking late work just excuses lazy behavior.
