[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is in a math class with a teacher that doesn't believe in retakes. I've heard other teachers allow them. This is annoying to me that even in the same class some teachers are allowing retakes and others not. Just have one policy for the school.[/quote] Yes, there are (often huge) discrepancies among various sections of the same course based on the teacher, never mind from one academic department to another. Also, some departments are changing things on the fly. Both the English and Math departments issued policy changes (at least, DCs teachers said they were departmental changes) around midyear regarding retakes, homework, and other items. No, all of those things don't necessarily have huge impact but the fact that someone felt the need to make changes seems highly indicative, at least to me, of the poor implementation of SBG. No one seems clear on the rules or made sure before implementing them that they'd benefit students. [/quote]
