YES!!
This is not the time to teach a kid a lesson. There are other ways to do it.
Remote learning is hard. One of mine forgot to take a quiz last semester. My response was something like “don’t you write that down?”. The reply was something like I don’t understand how hard it is with remote and keeping track of everything electronically etc. I told her put it up on a hard calendar what she is doing every day and she won’t forget! She was lucky because that class let you drop 3 quizzes (they were weekly) but she was annoyed because she had to drop a 0 instead of using one of her lowest. Ultimately it didn’t affect her in the long term but it was a good lesson learned and she didn’t do it again.
Same with her twin. A few weeks later she too forgot a quiz. I couldn’t believe it. It was like groundhog day. She was very freaked out because in her case you can’t drop them. But then she went back and looked at what her grade would be made up of and she fortunately was high enough that it would have no impact.
But again, lesson learned that they have to do something different to make sure these things don’t happen again. These don’t have long term lifetime consequences. Letting a kid flop and not submit a college app, absolutely does. That’s not the time to teach that lesson when a kid has worked 18 years for that.
