[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I admit I don’t use the Z in my gradebook.  To my knowledge the Z is supposed to be a placeholder that says a student didn’t turn in an assignment but still can until the deadline.  I avoid that by not syncing my grades until the deadline passes.  If you did it the grade shows, if you didn’t its a zero.  I basically sync the grades from canvas to synergy every week using this because there is always an assignment that reached its deadline every week.  Longest you ever wait to see your grade is one week after you hopefully turned it in.  [/quote]

Jerk move. Teachers who do this are trying to lighten their load by having fewer late assignments come in. This is why no one respects teaching anymore.[/quote]

OR... kids could turn in assignments on the due date.  Teachers should not be expected to continue going back and grading things and updating the gradebook because we are too lame to hold kids accountable.  What do you think kids did in the 70s?[/quote]

How would I know? I can ask my boomer mom who was in high school in the 70s. Why would what my child’s grandma experienced in high school over 50 years ago be the data point you think is relevant? [/quote]

It's relevant because kids were able to manage their work without mom and without a computer.  We are instilling learned helplessness.  [/quote]
