[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will lead to strategic behavior where kids who want As will be incentivized to do poorly on tests if they think they won't get an A on the test. For example, if you are taking a math test with 10 questions and you think you may get 2 wrong, you should answer several more incorrectly so that you get a retest. [/quote] It doesn't, because the highest they can get now is an A. I do appreciate the idea that a grade should reflect actual knowledge and that if you get an A you get an A even if it was based on a retake, but this system was absolutely untenable for teachers and really encouraged procrastination on the part of the students. Thank goodness for the change. Although is a teacher allowed to maintain her practice of the original policy? I think a teacher should able able to do that if she wants to. [/quote]
