In the picture, which CP Member is getting credit for work not done?

The teacher's job is to accurately assess students progress. If you look into the different curriculums in Alberta. Grades are meant to be based on the curriculum objectives. Giving Zeros does not grade curriculum objectives, it only punishes behavior. A curriculum objective may say "Student shows an understanding of the ultranationalism" not "Student shows and understanding of ultranationalism by March 10th, or with a smile on their face" Grades are 100% meant to be based on the students ability to meet curriculum criteria and not behavior issues. Unhanded in work would be considered a behavior. Giving a zero to that student does not accurately show what the student does or does not know.

A public outcry would not remove the policy because its obvious the public knows nothing about the policy. These policies are put in place by the "Stephen Hawkings" of Educational Assessment.

When did "MEV" become a mark? Missing Evidence is a final mark?

That's where it all falls down for me.
