At the school I work at teachers are "encouraged" to give 50's instead of 0's.
To fair I think there is some logic to it. The grading scale is weird. I think giving out one or two 50's to a kid is one thing. Or if a kid was out for a week or something and didn't make up all the work but still scored well on the tests.
But just never giving a zero at all seems a bit much.
