[quote=Anonymous]I’m pretty surprised by this grading change on retakes, seems like a very stark reversal, from the previously learning centered policy and ability to demonstrate knowledge of the content through continued effort. I hear some people are happy about it and feel like the retakes were gaming the system. Not sure how I feel, school comes really easy to some brains and takes more work for others, doesn’t mean they can’t get there. School already so heavily favors a certain learning style and testing style. This seems like a step backward that will continue to reward kids already doing well on the first take at the expense of content mastery for kids it testing doesn’t come as naturally to. [/quote]
