The "No Zero Policy" can in fact keep students MORE accountable for their work if it means the alternative is them having to take the course again. Then its the parents fighting the School Division on the

"What do you mean you wouldnt give my son a zero! Thats ridiculous! Just give him a zero and let him go on!"

MEV is WORSE and much harder of a punishment than a Zero is.
So, to use you example, if I was a 90% student, but missed an assignment I would get an MEV and could not pass?
