I'm sorry, but I have to briefly rant about something that has annoyed me for YEARS:
"Not grading it" would be fine with me, as the student. I don't like grades in the first place!
What the teacher means is: "I will automatically assign a failing grade, no matter how good the work is." [EDIT: "...just as if you had turned nothing in at all".] That is distinct from "not grading it", and is what the teacher should say instead (if it is what he or she actually means).
After years of suffering through the process of academic enslavement I completely agree with the sentiment of this comment.
