[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the class for my kids too. This is no end of frustrating for my kid who's great at math and not so great at english, and has a math teacher who allows test retakes and an english teacher who doesn't. But as a parent, I think it's a great idea. I want my children to understand the subject being taught. If it's not until the test that they, and the teacher, find out the student doesn't understand, that shouldn't be the end of it. When teachers allow test retakes, it's not. In my observation, the kids actually then work to understand the things they got wrong so they can improve their score. The primary drawback I see is that kids may be less interested in finding out what they did wrong and figuring out how to do it right when they don't get a retake option. Though those kids probably would have been the same in an environment where no retakes were allowed.[/quote]
