[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retakes to the extent given by FCPS do nothing to prepare students for the real world. [/quote] As a person that went through: FCPS from elementary to HS and followed up GMU; Test taking skills favor success at FCPS. Real-world these people tend to fail even though they can pass any certification exam. Put them with a real-world problem and they regurgitate text book or first page google searches. Test-takers hire other test-takers and it kills innovation, they are OK watching the company go bankrupt as long as they are OK. I'm OK with retakes if the kid learns something and it shows hard-word. The GPA and Standardized Tests are the biggest red-herring ever produced. Hard-work and willingness to learn is what I want ultimately - I will hire these people. They are reliable workaholics. [/quote]
