I have had parents argue with me on that Art should not be rushed and there
should not be a penalty if students hand in work late. My response to them (
after working in the field for 15 years prior to teaching) was that if a
project did not meet a due date, you MOST OFTEN lost the job- due to the
abundent competition in the art field. If you didn't lose that job- you lost
the opportunity of getting another one with that client! Then guess what
-you put YOUR position on the line as well. If You cannot produce under time
constraints- you lose your job and their are a zillion people out there to
choose from! My HS art curriculum is formatted for college prep. I don't
know where you went to school- but my undergraduate work was always penalized
if it was not turned in on time. I feel it is my job to stress and require
quality with excellent craftsmanship and completion within a specified
timeframe. Its realistic.
