Aaron Academy's Zero Policy

Students,

Just to make sure that you all understand the new Aaron Academy zero policy as it was stated in your syllabus:

When you come to class unprepared, in other words, you do not have your homework, teachers have been instructed to give you a "zero." This is a school-wide Aaron Academy policy. There is no way around this.

This past Tuesday, some of you asked if you could email me what you did not have. I allowed you to email me the missing pieces because part of this assignment was for me to see your completed work and know how you write. However, according to the new policy, you need to understand that you will receive zeros on the portions of the assignment that you did not have to turn in to me in class. I do not want anyone to be surprised by this.

Don't panic: I will offer a bonus assignment later in the semester by which you may be able to make up for your lowest homework grade.

Students, you have one day for which you need to be prepared. Every class you take is important. Tutorials give you an opportunity to prepare not just for class but for the real world. Do your best! Listen, students, I am telling you the truth: Smart people rule the world.

Be one of them.
