Edmonton Teacher Fired For Giving Well-Deserved Zeroes Wins Appeal
So this guy got fired for the sin of giving students zeroes for not turning in work...
WTF other grade should one give out?
(Incidentally, if students simply turn in a piece of paper that says "I don't know" I give them 50%. Not passing, of course, but it prevents a lot of bullshitting and forces them to admit ignorance. I give a lot of zeroes for bullshit answers--answer that are 0% correct. But just admit--to yourself and to me--that you don't know, and you can dodge a zed.)
