Why are the students allowed to get to the end of the term without having
practiced? My students get a grade at each lesson, and the lack of practice
shows up early on! We address that as needed and get things back on track.
If anyone has slacked the entire term, there's no amount of practicing that
can save the day, because all the grades are averaged together in the final
grade.
