Poll: Help me out here am I too strict?!
Question: I am a teacher and the students are told many times where to turn in their completed work. So at the end of class if I find it on floor or left on student's desk I don't grade it and the student gets a zero for it.
Another teacher and my Para-Pro think I am too strict what do you think?

How old are your students???
If they're in their teens and below, I think that maybe your should think of another option. Let them have their grade, but make them work for it. Teens brains still have A LOTTT of developing to do. lol
I think you should make them do it again and put it where it belongs instead of giving them a zero
No not at all.....you don't say what grade you teach but it is never to early to start teaching kids responsibility....I mean you couldn't do that at your job and be excused for it...and if all the kids started to not turn in their work at the time and place they are suppose to...then you would be asking for it all the time..
i think you could take some points off or lower it a grade but i think it's a little strict to give a complete zero.
Give them a chance to explain themselves;
but no, you're teaching them well:
provided you're not hung up with guys with long hair or girls being free with their dress.
As a teacher in training I think you are being fair. They were given a task and they did not complete it. They were told where to hand it in and did not do so. That's their mistake.
If I do not e-mail my assignments or hand them in my teacher I would fail and the students need to learn this young so that they can go off to college and university and not flunk out simply because they can't obey orders.
Maybe remind the students and let them know that they will fail if they do not hand it in. If they continue to be lazy maybe write up a letter to the parents so they are aware of the problem.
i would say take some points off or make them do it over but i wouldn't give them a complete zero
