I have noticed, since changing to this model, that more of the traditional F students have begun to try harder and to have more success generally. Please try it!!!!  I can argue with you until you change your mind. To the o remark, kids don't own cars!

0 allows us to enter “missing”

0 is easier to notice, whereas a no-grade can be overlooked later when finalizing scores

0 reflects actual performance

On our grading scale, a 0 actually functions as -50. An F is an F, as long as we tell parents that a 50 means your kid has to make up this work.

Not putting in a grade makes it look like the teacher has not graded the work.  Parents cannot tell the difference between that and their kids not turning in work.
