Is it normal to be this stressed over missing an assignment?

My school has gone into a system called intervention, a system where if you miss a single assignment, you will be sent to a 2-week long program to spend half of your lunch in a classroom, even after finishing the assignment you missed on the very first day of this program. I now have the very first threat to my safety, i do not have a lab-writeup done and do not have the materials i need to complete it, i asked the teacher yesterday for an extra day, which i was given, i have already explained my situation to him and he understood, now it seems like I'm using his patience and i wouldn't like to do that again... i doubt i would get another try at this, point is, I'm overly stressing over this small assignment, and missing 30 minutes of lunch each day, possibly losing my off-campus privileges for the rest of the semester... This program is over-stressing students school-locale, normally quiet and compliant students are talking back to teachers through anger and hate, from stress... this program is tearing my school apart... but even in this situation, i would like to know if my stress is necessary, is it normal to stress over a single assignment?

    It was on the news tonight that a girl in my state( I live in Australia) got sent a letter home to her parents asking them to find het another school to attend because she didn't do an assignment. The news program contacted the school who said she could come back if she obeyed the rules on homework but she was so embarrasses that she is choosing to change schools. I personally think it's ridiculous but at the same time, if your given an assignment and u don't do it you should suffer the consequences although i think the punishment is to harsh. On the other hand, it will teach kids a lesson. When your at work and u don't finish something it could have dire consequences to the company!
    Don't stress, just do your assignment and u won't get punished

    if i was in charge, i would kick all you ingrates out and only bring in kids who deserve to be there. i am tired of kids who think they should get everything handed to them on a silver platter. do your damn work and you wont get punished. that is how the real world works so get used to it.

    Well my school has issues with "problem children" with parents who don't want to be parents if ya get the picture, needless to say, we have the highest teen pregnancy rate in the US my city does lol... probably considering that we don't have many people living here, and walking around school i alone know 4 or 5 pregnant girls... so the percent is easy to spike
