How to hand in the essay- Specifics I, Ms. Schiff, will not accept late essays without being typed and handed in. They must be here during the period you have me. If your printer dies, runs out of ink, has no paper, your computer cries because it will not connect to the printer, or grows legs and runs from you… your paper is STILL due. You can email me at rschiff@pylusd.org to save your grade for 24 hours. The next day you MUST have a typed and printed copy in hand for your class period. Every day late is 10 points (1 letter grade) off. This ALSO applies if you’re sick, break a body part, your house is only robbed of your essay, backpack is taken by wolves, forget you have school that day, have a family emergency, have a dog that eats paper, get attacked by dragons, or simply forget you have me as a teacher. Good luck! I have faith in your abilities. - Schiff
