[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t realize some schools followed it and some didn’t.[/quote] The issue is the parent population. A teacher CAN give a zero for a missing assignment, but must document that the parent has been notified and responds that they know. If you teach at a school with responsive parents, you give zeros. If you teach at a school with non-responsive parents (include those gaming the system), you give 50% and move on with your day. With all the coverage we’re doing, who has time to try to contact a parent for the tenth time in a row. A parent who sees a Z grade and cares is going to contact you. [/quote]
