Except the kid was given a chance to do the assignment and just didn't do it. So its more like they were given the opportunity to bat but just didn't bother to step up to the plate. Unless the pitcher really sucks they will be struck out. Or turning your analogy around, I would say that by handing out MEV grades is essentially giving a baseball player a "walk" when he was given a chance to bat but wouldn't even step up to the plate while the pitches were thrown.
