[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who is panicking about this change. He has only taken two re-takes, but he’s really down about not having the opportunity to excel on a retake. He is outraged. He’s also got some learning differences and the current policy has made it easier for his 504 to just fall into place rather than me having to obsessively enforce it with his teachers. My other kid has completely abused the policy by only doing the test prep if he gets a bad grade and needs to retake the test. This does not go unnoticed by his teachers! This is to say, I’ve seen both the benefits and pitfalls of the current policy and I have mixed feelings about the change. My question: will teachers have the discretion to offer the entire class the opportunity to completely retake a test that the class collectively bombed and, at their discretion, offer the entire class the opportunity to get an A on that retake? Or does the new policy strip them of that discretion?[/quote]
