[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people indicating that kid a could “keep taking the test” until they get an A. The policy allowed for ONE retake of a given test. Not repeated retakes, as some posters here claim. [/quote]

Don’t let facts get in the way of a good APS bashing. [/quote]

There were multiple retakes allowed at one point. Or at least that's how it was interpreted/talked about early on.[/quote]

At least that is the rumor you enjoyed pushing. [/quote]

When standards based grading first started in middle school, there were multiple retakes allowed by some teachers. Since the official policy started, I’ve not seen this anywhere. [/quote]

which middle school? which subject? [/quote]

I think this whole comment thread is a bit random: The original person commented about multiple re-takes. Someone asked for clarification- they responded that it was in middle school, then clarified further that it was a few years ago that multiple re-take were allowed but not recently. Multiple re-takes were never part of the county wide policy instituted in July 2023. The original commenter was just trying to suggest that they were correct at one time but they do acknowledge that has not been the case this year. I think this suggestion of multiple re-takes is feeding the anti re-take rhetoric.[/quote]
