[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I though the 50% was the minimum for work turned in. Not for work not done at all. You're a teacher OP? [/quote] I don’t know if OP is a teacher, but I am. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to assign a zero for missing work unless your principal is willing to die on that hill. We were told that you need affirmative two-way communication with parents before a zero. That means unreturned voicemails and unanswered emails do not count. You need the parent to acknowledge the work wasn’t turned in. You are SOL if the parent says “I watched Larlo did it so I’m sure he turned it in.” So much easier to 50% it and move on.[/quote] It's fine who cares? This is not the source of grade inflation. If you want fair grading, try a bell curve but otherwise you're not serious.[/quote]
