Some teachers do not agree with this policy. Thoughts? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) My school system has this same policy in place. I agree on one hand, but it is essentially dishonest for me to give a grade of 50 when NOTHING was turned in. My way around that-the student has to sit in silent lunch and complete the assignment. If that doesn't work, students with missing work are not allowed to attend our team incentive days that happen twice a quarter. That sure motivate them to turn in work.
