[quote=Anonymous]There should be no retakes for anyone. How is it fair if you get an 85% and can't retake, but someone with a 79% can retake and end up with a 90% when you prepared better for the original test? It's not fair. But it's also NUTS to let every student retake. For a motivated student, there's no incentive not to retake unless you got 100%. It's not preparing kids for reality and is reinforcing unhealthy perfectionism and competition, and it's an unfair workload increase for teachers. Don't we all know the research on the benefits of letting kids learn to fail and build resilience? [/quote]
