Some teachers do not agree with this policy. Thoughts? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Giving a zero for work not turned in does not reflect the student meeting the standards. The student should not get a zero for not turning in work. Instead, find was to reward students for turning in their work...maybe motivating students more.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with trying to motivate the students to turn in their work.

It does not make sense to now give the student a zero if they don't do their work. If they did 0% of the assignment why should they get any credit? In the real world, that is how it is going to work. So they might as well learn that in school.

It is important to show and teach students about responsibility and that there is a consequence if they do not do what they are asked to do.

There is no truth in the grade they have earned if they are not receiving zeros for work they did not do. Grades are earned, not passed along by lack of effort. Rewards should not be given out to make students do their work, their grades should reflect that. You do not punish an employee in a company by not giving him a piece of chocolate because he was late; you write him up and that goes on his "report card" or employee record.
