[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC in middle school just had a 50% posted for an assignment we know they did not do.[/quote]

Yes, was checking grades in parentvue and asked "um, how did you get a 50 on an assignment in world studies" and the answer was oh, I haven't turned that in yet, I'm turning it in today."   [/quote]

Yup. I'm one of the PPs who said the same thing. The 50% rule is definitely not dead yet.[/quote]

Nope. I’m a teacher.  It’s a horrible disservice especially since no college or trade school grades on such a high curve.  Also what job give you half a paycheck for not doing any work?

Everyone needs to be on the same page. Full stop.

I don't understand. The regulation, linked earlier in the thread, literally says "if a student does no work on the task/assessment, the teacher will assign a zero." What is preventing you from assigning a zero?[/quote]
Because that so-called teacher is a troll. 
In the case above,  the 50% is a placeholder.  [/quote]
