The definition of “done” has changed

This one stings. And it’s 100% preventable.

The homework is done.
The grade is a zero.

What’s missing? Oftentimes just one click.

“Done” doesn’t just mean finished anymore. It means submitted.

Help your child close the loop and cross the finish line:

  1. Done = completed AND submitted
  2. Build a final step into every assignment: upload/attach/submit
  3. Set a phone reminder or put a sticky note on your bathroom mirror and pillow: “Did you hit submit?”


Because today, done but not submitted… isn’t done.
