[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are going to allow retakes, let the kids retake up to a 100. Who does that hurt? The teachers aren't doing anything by hand. Everything is automated. Even English tests are multiple choice.[/quote] My kid’s private school offered retakes but they were always capped so you could improve your grade but the poor initial grade always mattered. My kid has learning disabilities so it was hard. However…it did incentivize doing as well as you could on the first test and not just using it as review. I think the only thing that matters is learning the material, but I did want my kid to have the practice of grades mattering the first time for when he gets to college.[/quote] The difference is you selected that school and the grading policy. Public school kids are at the whim of the SB and they change the policy every year. [/quote]
