@mrrr.leflore: The zero method is a lethal educational practice that I fully support. Kids get to working with A QUICKNESS to get that zero out of there😂 #teachersoftiktok #teachertok #blowthisup
when a kid sleeps or refuses to do an assignment they are supposed to be doing during class, I put in the 0 and add a lil comment about the behavior. documentation AND communication

The online gradebook IS the communication! It's available 24/7.

I’m a mom of a middle schooler. The 0 is the communication to me. I’ve seen the zeros in the grade book and it triggers me to ask my kid about it. You do not need to email them!

I put the 0 in as soon as it's late, even if the turned in work isn't graded yet (I always grade same week, usually next day). Want the 0 to go away? Turn something in 🤷♀️That's your reminder 🤣

Half the time they won’t turn it in until they see a missing assignment negatively affect their grade.

Nothing gets an assignment turned in faster than a zero plugged in

You ARE communicating with the parents.

Mr. Pickles’ Mom :
I immediately put zeros in on the day it’s due if I don’t have it. I may not have graded the rest yet, but I grade the ones not there. I get most the next day that way.

I check my son’s grades weekly. The zero would be the communication and then I would communicating quick and in a hurry with my kiddo to get it fixed

Zeros work wonders … Also no extra credit and hard deadlines…

The zero will find the parents who care enough to pay attention.

It’s the only way to get them to work much of the time.

The 0 is the communication that usually gets ignored…until the day before the term ends 🤷🏻♀️

The 0 is there until it's turned in. Parents can see it, kids can see it.

No. :
I’ve gone back to zeros! I feel like NOT putting in zeros was confusing parents more. I used to get emails all the time like, “it says my kid’s assignment is missing but they have a 50%… which one is it?”

Vanorak :
me putting the zero in is communicating with the parent. and it's usually the only way it makes a kid turn it in suddenly

La☆Shae :
Yup, it is the fastest way for me to get my freshmen students to get work in. Sometimes I’ll go through before I grade the stuff that was due at the end of class and put zeros in for all the kids who didn’t turn in but leave all the others as not graded

Krissy is Chaotic :
I put zeros in all the time. If you refuse to do the work, you get a zero. And a lot of times I’ll put a note in the gradebook that says student refused to complete.
