You are clear. But in the US you can not assign grades to "make yourself feel better" or for "revenge" or even threaten to do so. Grades are to represent ability. There are other consequences for behavior issues, so it's not that I'm "not doing them any favors". It's just not done here ... grades and behavior consequences are not supposed to overlap wherever possible.
