[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents frequently request resubmission on the grounds that even if the grade can’t be improved, the student could benefit from feedback. Before the grading policy allowed multiple redo attempts, I allowed resubmission a second or even third time for feedback only. I stopped once MCPS changed the reassessment policy because suddenly, we were in this murky ground where I thought a particular resubmission was for feedback, but parents thought it was for credit. Even when I specified in advance, I’m just giving feedback on this, later the demand was to increase the grade. I’m all for maximizing grades, but work redone at home a third time several weeks after the initial assessment and dramatically improved sometimes hints at the hand of a parent or tutor. Now I stick with one redo, under my supervision. Per MCPS policy, it can only help, not hurt.[/quote]
At our kids' school (a W+BCC cluster MS) Canvas shows whether an assignment is re-takable or not.  Re-takes are not done under a teacher's supervision because teachers can't commit the time.  Teachers don't offer (and refuse, if asked) student retakes for improvement/feedback only.  From several encounters I have had, I think teachers wish I would hire a tutor, to take the work off their plates.  They're just too busy.[/quote]
