I tell my kids the same thing about grades.
I also point out that if the teachers see they are really trying and not getting it, they are much more willing to try to help but when they don't even turn in a paper, the teachers think they didn't try and that is the problem. At least a bad paper shows they did something.
Quite often, if they hand the assignment in, the teachers can see where they had problems and have some idea where they are struggling and therefore, where they need the help.

Luckily, there wasn't too many ppl in there. She just wouldn't stop about the table, so we got up & left before we even ordered & came straight HOME!!!!!
