In a small class environment like that it's mean, but it's a good habit to force students to have so when they get to college, they don't get actual permanent zeros because they turned in a scantron test with no name. Not to mention the exam being 25% of your grade or something. So I totally get why the teacher would do it like this. Fear gets imprinted in your brain preeeetty deeply.I think maybe you need to rethink your teaching strategy if you're making students cry just because they forgot to write their name on the test.
