Lack accountability
fails to prepare students
for the real world
Is it fair?
- Students and teachers know what zereos stands for in graded assignments
- Students can avoid getting a zero by just doing their asssignment

not do
- Replacing a 0 with a 50% is still giving a grade for work that is not there
- It is not fair to students who put work into their assignmets
- It is like rewarding the lack of work and making it seem acceptable
- Students turning in assignments is showing a way of responsinility.
- No-zero policy is failing to prepare students for their lives after school
-Employers are not going to accept the behavior of no work=fired
- It is holding accountable for students to do their work making sure they are understanding a concept

was successful, why is
it not enforced?
