Edmonton teacher suspended for giving 0s
Quote:
An Edmonton high school teacher says he has been suspended for giving students zeros on uncompleted assignments or exams.

Lynden Dorval, a physics teacher at Ross Sheppard High School, has been giving the mark for work that wasn't handed in or tests not taken even though it goes against the school's "no-zero" policy.

The thinking behind the policy is that failing to complete assignments is a behavioural issue and marks should reflect ability, not behaviour.

Sadly that's not only a problem in US.

If they graded on ability, I would be a teacher. Why even bother to attend; just send in your IQ scores.

Oh, not surprised, give 0 for incomplete assignments are reasonable, especially if everything is blank - no answer in all questions.

If students answer some of questions so should give fair grade, just strike the question with no answer out as incorrect.

Would you live in a house that was not completely built?

This "no-zero" policy is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
