As an avid Google Classroom teacher user, one of the most frustrating things I've had to deal with is when students turn in an assignment incomplete and before the due date. I've come to realize that one of the main reasons students do this is because they are trying to fool the system and their family at home. Students have learned that if they turn in their assignment before the due date, even if it is incomplete, the Guardian Summary Email that their family receives will consider it finished. However, this only prolongs the inevitable.
