  Case: No grade lower than 60
In this school system, teachers are not allowed to give a student a grade lower than 60. How do you feel about this grading policy? It is claimed to be research-based.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Although the failure is not an option, is a double-edge sword. Students need the opportunity to demonstrate mastery without punishment. Teachers need the authority to improve self-assessment and personal accountability. Real-world scenario shows that if an individual fail to file your taxes one would be breaking the law. Adult-world, we are asking for trouble in this case. However, the proponents of no-zero, looks at the social components verses how grading translate into real world behavior patterns. The question then becomes are teachers in a no zero environment really preparing the next generation, if so, who will enforce the research based laws and morals already established?
