Are those still addressed? I understand other circumstances might hinder the ability to complete an assignment, but sometimes students can learn to grow. Just thinking about other ways we can still encourage timeliness, responsibility, time-management, etc. I'm not sure that the absence is punishment enough of it's own.. or just curious how it could be in every circumstance.

I agree that it's important to rethink why we do everything in the classroom, and to really analyze if it is beneficial in the capacity that it's being used, if at all, and to adjust/rethink a rule if needed.
