+1. My oldest is in high school now and even in her honors classes there's the ability to turn on some things late and even some re-takes are allowed.

I don't know where these ZERO mistakes-type of mentality is coming from.

These are honors and ap classes. There’s also unlimited turins for higher grades. Each class is 20-50% assignments so if you just turn in your homework you’re kind of guaranteed a B.

I think this is because of hyper competitive college prep where everyone wants to get straight As.
