What's the big deal? If the kids know the material then they should get a similar grade on the retake.
The PSATs may negate the scores of many who took it successfully because there were technical difficulties on the east coast. My teen complained and I said that sucks but sometimes things happen. Getting up in arms about a one time thing like this is what makes kids unable to handle anything. |
Any updates OP? |
+1. You can't start a thread like that and not say what happened! |
At some point, about two minutes after college graduation, young people will have to collaborate with colleagues, work in teams, and avoid re-inventing the wheel and instead build on and draw on existing knowledge. They will copy successful processes created by others. They will need to split up tasks among the team and come together to produce a final product.
In school and college, these things are cheating and a violation of the honor code. No wonder they're confused. https://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/effective-classroom-management/collaboration-cheating-distinctions/#:~:text=When%20students%20are%20working%20in,copies%20the%20answer%2C%20that's%20cheating. |
If they don't have to do those things until after graduation, how would they be confused? These kids are not "confused." They know darn well that this was cheating. |
