Just wanted to add that my kid said that they are told well in advance when a test/quiz will not be retakeable, so that they study accordingly. [/quote]

I don't have the slightest interest in my kids retaking a test.    I just want to see the test and find out what my son got wrong and where he needs help.   This is how people learn.

So far at Hoover MS I have not been able to see any marked up tests or quizzes.[/quote]

Why does the parent need to see the test if the teachers go over them with the students at school? Don't the kids have study materials such as handouts or books or notes? [/quote]

NP here.  I honestly can not believe there are people that defend NOT getting all of their child's work home to evaluate and see.  ESPECIALLY major tests.  This county will never have to change because there are just so many "who really cares" parents that don't give a crap at ever looking at one of their kid's unit tests.  Do you honestly think half of a  45min period where a teacher quickly goes over some key points on a test where 30 kids got various answers wrong is a true review?  And even if you say it is, you think the parents shouldn't see it because the kid saw it and that is good enough?  I am really just shocked at how people justify complete laziness.  The point is as others stated.  MCPS makes a county wide test (which already is ridiculous) and each teacher gives that test, quickly shows the kids the grade and does a max 30min review of it and then it is never heard from or seen again.  A parent needs to contact the school and sometimes multiple times in writing to be able to see their child's own test/grade.  As a working mom, it is absolute torture for me to do this.  I shouldn't have to take personal time off a job to see a test my child took.  Ridiculous.   [/quote]

PP at 23:06 here.  I'm not sure if you're the same person who accused me of creating an imaginary child to explain what goes on at our local MS (and I am not the PP you accused of being a BOE member), but if you have a MS student, have you talked to him?  Is he saying the test review is brief and inadequate?  Does he say he still doesn't understand the material?  Is he saying he never gets back his quizzes and homework?  Or is he just not bringing it back home? Does your school use Edline?  Have you tried emailing the teacher?  Your posts raise a lot of general complaints that do not jive with what is happening at my kid's MS and then if someone expresses facts or opinions different from yours, you go on the attack.  Not productive.  Also, are you saying county-wide exams meant to ensure that kids are meeting county standards are themselves ridiculous?[/quote]
