[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the math 7 honors teachers at Franklin announced to the class there would be no retakes on this latest math test (taken just this Monday) because it’s too close to the end of the quarter. That is complete bs and against policy. We also use a rolling gradebook so that does not matter one bit. These are the kind of teachers I am talking about at Franklin.

Another teacher responded to my child, “what do you want me to do,” when my child told them about a technological issue they were having. Finally, kids aren’t allowed to take their composition notebooks home to study for quizzes and tests. They must stay in the classroom.

Does this make sense??[/quote]

My kid has experienced the exact opposite of this at Franklin. Our kids must not have the same teachers.

-- My child has a binder for most classes.

-- She has a huge number of notes, annotated texts, teacher notes, and other resources for studying.

-- The teachers are extremely clear about retakes. Most of them post the retake procedures in Schoology after every quiz or test so the students remember how each class handles retakes.

-- The ELA teacher updated Schoology with very clear instructions about how to retake an essay that was due last week. She also left very detailed feedback to help my child understand how to fix the essay.

-- The Math 7 Honors teacher is one of the best communicators I've seen. She answers every question very quickly, both for kids and parents.

-- My child's teachers have bent over backwards to help her with technology issues. [/quote]

Lucky you! I have spoken to multiple parents who have this math teacher and everyone agrees with me.[/quote]
