[quote=Anonymous]I know OP wants to assume the worst possible motivations, or the laziest possible students, but the truth is that most classes don't have that many assignments. One missed instruction, or misunderstanding, or just bad day doing homework, should not make a child unable to receive a passing (or even a good) grade for the quarter. I have older kids, so I've seen this policy in action and it is actually good. It keeps kids motivated by making it clear that one bad day isn't going to tank their entire quarter. If you work hard on the other assignments, and make up the points that you can make up, you can still do well even if one assignment went poorly. [/quote]
