Exclamation Edmonton teacher suspended for giving zero's

An Edmonton high school teacher says he has been suspended for giving students zeros on uncompleted assignments or exams.

Lynden Dorval, a physics teacher at Ross Sheppard High School, has been giving the mark for work that wasn't handed in or tests not taken even though it goes against the school's "no-zero" policy.

And this response from a student:

"If students show up they deserve a minimum mark. A zero seems a bit extreme."
