Back in the printing business, pleasing the customer was paramount. One year, some guys in suits from corporate taught us managers and coworkers a mantra that would build and maintain business:"Done Right, On Time, Every Time." If we met these parameters for our customers, they would be sure to give us repeat business, and that meant money. On the other hand, late copy and printing jobs ALWAYS equalled disgruntled customers. I worked hard to inculcate reliability in my coworkers, training them to take the customer's expectations seriously. At times we ran late with jobs, and after keeping my customers apprised, they often agreed to let me push back the deadline.
We teachers want the same from our students. Just get the work in on time - every time. Honestly, this is the recipe for success in college.
I worry about some of my students. I really worry about them because many are conditioned to float through high school without treating all significant assignments with a sense of urgency.
