[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP that you responded to on this. I think it's fine to resubmit*sometimes* (hw, for sure, or maybe pop quizzes). But I think you are doing a disservice to the kids by not teaching them some basic study skills..for example, maybe if you have a test, you should study for it a few days before, attend study sessions with the teacher, and do well the first time, instead of asking to take a makeup exam.

And I am speaking as a parent whose kid gets straight A's but has poor study habits. She has taken several (GT) math tests over the last year after doing average the first time (80-85%). Most of the time, it's because she didn't even bother to study. A sense that there aren't second chances for everything would maybe motivate her. She has a ton of other GT friends also with straight A's taking makeups too.

I could care less whether my kid (or anyone else's kid) gets recognition for straight A's. But straight A's should translate to competence and hard work which isn't the case often.
