Do you think is a good idea ?
I don't think its a good idea the number one reason why I don't agree with this rule is this "Sam Hedenberg, who teaches English to special education students at Fairfax’s Mount Vernon High School, has seen the new
ideas in action. Two years ago, administrators at his school barred teachers from giving zeroes, making the lowest possible score
a 53. “It definitely provides that opportunity for a kid to catch up,” Hedenberg said.
But he also has seen students game the system. One student was able to pass his class even though he skipped several essaywriting
assignments. “Many students have already started to figure out that they don’t have to do very much but they can still
pass,” he said.

I don't think this is new. And I don't think this applies only to special ed students. If you get an assignment excused (dropped) for some reason you don't have to do it.
Obviously, missing 3 important essays in one quarter is a lot to miss...

The kid may have passed, but probably got a D. So don't think they are really getting away with something.....
