       I had a HS kid tell me last year that he didn't have time to do his
     art history report because he had homework in "real" classes that he had
     to finish. I told him, and the rest of the class, that the "F" they get
     in my class for not doing the work is as real as the "A" they get in the
     class where they did all the work. I also reminded them how it would
     feel to "ride the bench" (these were athletes) if they got an F in art.
     I got all assignments turned in promptly after that!

    Jill,
        I agree with this. Don't lose any sleep over it just point out how it can
    hurt them and then back away. They will have to learn the hard way. It does
    burn me up though.
