Parent Question

by Jason

Dec 1, 2016

Have a quick question for Georgia teachers. I have a child in high school that has 7 teachers. They have this thing called campus portal where we can check grades and assignment due dates. About two teachers (Spanish and World History) every week has when assignments are due and when they will take a test. So basically my child can go online and never miss a due date on an assignment or see what test is coming up.However I just want to know why only certain teachers are doing this? I asked one teacher and he said that instead of posting assignments with due dates on the portal he just tell the students. Which is fine I guess, but I just want to know what would make some teachers post grades and assignments with due dates and other who don't.

Jason Thank you for your response, I asked because I was just curious as to why some do it and others don't. World History said he does it because it is policy and science teacher said it is not and that he does not have to post due dates for upcoming assignments. So I was confused with two different responses from teachers at the same school. But thanks...See MoreThank you for your response, I asked because I was just curious as to why some do it and others don't.
