#14: Yeah, Don’t Bother
While this won’t work for middle school and under, it’s a legitimate strategy for high school and college. Most kids have one job, and that’s school. Assignments don’t take nearly as long if you just get them done and out of the way. It’s not like they haven’t seen the syllabus since day one!
Teachers teach more than information. This is a good life lesson, and it only takes once or twice before a student gets their act together and turns stuff in on time. Just like taxes and paperwork, there are repercussions if it’s late. Best to learn it while kids are still in school!
