hink that a deadline is the time you are supposed to hand something in rather than the last possible time you can hand it in. I believe the word comes from an imaginary line on the battle field that if you crossed you would die. If my students were in battle they would all be standing on the line seeing how close they could get to the bullets. Well the IB learner profile does mention risk takers I suppose. maybe its time that education started doing what they do in most other walks of life to reward people that complete jobs ahead of time, pay bonuses. I don't mean paying actual money or anything but maybe awarding extra IB points to students who hand in early. I proposed this to a group of students but they didn't think it fair since some students need more time than others due to language problems. Hmm, hadn't spotted that correlation but point taken.
