not a bad idea
The election will be over by midnight this cycle.
Lol, do we have to legislate everything at the administrative level? I think our students are smart enough to do their homework and watch the election returns at the same time, or at least organize their work for the few days in advance of the election so as to be able to have the night free. No extra bureaucracy needed.
Agree with kettle. And also, it is really patriotic to watch the election returns? And does it really matter? The results will be the same if you go to the library, do your homework, go to bed, and turn on your TV/computer in the morning. There is NOTHING patriotic about watching some political commentators announce returns and speculate on the remaining states - even though it is entertaining.
Agreed. Though I don't think it's necessary to limit the coursework due the day after, if we _did_ choose to do it, only those students who went out and voted should be entitled to the reduction. Watching TV all night says nothing of one's civic commitment. Voting does.
