[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, this is the biggest difference between public and private and a giant reason we pulled our smart kids from DCPS.

My kids (at Deal) would do no work until the last week of a quarter.  Get a WS in all assignments.  Turn in everything.  Get an A for the quarter. Next quarter: same thing.  My youngest (of 3) was especially proficient (or should I say guilty) of this.  She had it down to a science.  She literally did not do any work outside of 4 weeks during the school year.  She would retake most exams.  It was ridiculous.

Anyway, the privates my kids are in (Big3 for what it's worth) don't allow any late work.  No retakes.  Maybe once per year a teacher will give test corrections when the class average on an exam is a 60 or 70.  Basically you get what you get and you don't get upset.

Ahhh! I feel so seen!! Yes! I forgot to mention the stupid retakes. It's destroyed any concept of studying/walking into an exam prepared.

This gives me hope. Thank you for sharing. [/quote]
