Complain to the principal immediately.

That’s not fair to students who did well on the test but might have forgotten some material now.

Are you dense? That’s exactly my point. It is unfair to expect only half the kids to take the test again because the teacher is a buffoon. All of them should take it again.

I like your verbiage. Very degrading to teachers. Thanks for exposing the level of respect teachers have to deal with. Many parents are buffoons BTW to believe that teachers are the problems with education.

What was degrading in the original note? The teacher told the class they lost the exams. Half the class had their grades entered, half did not.

The teacher has since retracted the offer for kids to re-take the exam, so yes, half of the class is now stuck with the other grades that the test was supposed to replace.

Teachers are human and of course mistakes happen, as they do for anyone. Students are disappointed when they studied for a test and didn’t see a grade to reflect that effort. Both can be true.

The issue is when half the class has an advantage and the other does not. Asking genuinely, how should this be handled?

I would bring this up with the grade-level assistant principal.

Losing things happens to the best of us. I would not want to set back a teacher's career because of this unless it were a pattern. But you should complain that the fix was unfair, and that those who want the opportunity to improve their grades should have some way to do that.

It should have been for everyone, not just the ones whose exams she lost. The ones she graded should have been thrown out, too.

It's possible that students stole the test or manipulated somehow because the teachers big flaw is that they can't see everything g and be everywhere at once. Teachers are expected to fall on their swords, take the blame, and chive on with a smile when hundreds of people everyday try to mess with powerful teachers who just want to do an honest day's work. You people who degrade teachers are
bad people.

That exam needs to be scrapped for everybody.
