That’s not how it works.
Blanks do not negatively impact grades. Only a Z0 or Z50 will.
You cannot leave a blank in synergy and submit it, you have to convert it to excused, 0 or 50%, there are people who check and get on teachers for having blanks in their gradebooks
Maybe that happens at your school. I’ve never had a staff member ask me about a blank after I finalize.
Or perhaps it’s a case of people who have an excessive number of blanks. I’ve never had more than two total in any given marking period. Usually when I left open the possibility that a kid would contact me at the 11th hour with the missing work.

Completely wrong.

Who are those people? Students have already asked thr teacher by email and in person. Is the teacher's boss checking? Counselor? Assistant Principal?

Does student ask counselor if teacher doesn't figure out how to add or remove a grade from gradebook?

your kid must have the same teacher as ours

Kids should not know what is grades and what is not. That way they have to do everything and their work on all will get them better grades on each. Tired of kids being lazy entitled idiots as mcps lowers its standards. Also for gosh sakes take the violent kids out of school and get them mental help. Making teachers keep them with no support borderlines neglect.

Not just a lack of time, but as a teacher is grading if they see that a specific assignment is tanking many kids’ grades, they might remove it.

My kids used that excuse all the time when they didn't do the work.
