Case: Zero for a Summative Assessment?
Mr. Nesbitt's school has a no late work policy. In fact, at the beginning of the school year, letters were sent home regarding the policy and parents were required to sign in to make sure that everyone was aware of the policy. Mr. Nesbitt assigned a math project that was a summative grade. Joey did not turn his in and received a zero which brought his average grade to failing. Mr. Nesbitt feels as though giving him a zero is quite harsh and wants to allow him an extra day to turn in his assignment with a 10 point penalty for turning it in late. What do you think he should do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First question is what are Joey's grades before the assignment? Second, what Mr. Nesbitt does in his classroom for his grades is for him to decide once he talks to his administration, but is Joey the only student that did not turn in the assignment in? Third, what problems is Joey facing that caused him not to turn in the assignment?
These are questions that I feel need to be addressed before Mr. Nesbitt can allow Joey to turn in the assignment late. I do feel that Joey should be given a chance to turn in the assignment if there is an explanation for the assignment to be late. Students have problems just like adults do and with it being the first big assignment one chance to makeup should be given. Kind of like a get out of jail free card. We all make mistake once in a while. Each student should have one chance for one assignment to be late with a penalty. |

| Comments: I really liked this solution to the problem. There are a lot of other factors that would have to be considered when deciding what to do in this instance. If Mr. Nesbitt looks into all of the listed issues then he will be able to make a proper decision. |

| Comments: I think this solution is best, keeping the policy is important but clearly to miss an assignment this big something must be going on at home or in the students personal life. |

| Comments: Absolutely agree, often academic rules can seem ruthless in the face of real life and need to be changed if a true issue is there. |

| Comments: This is a helpful solution because it is important to understand why Joey might not have turned in the assignment first, and the role of the teacher is to help students succeed, and this may involve showing some compromise. |
