[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no accountability for the quality ofnthe tests. When a "test" is only four questions and multiple choice with no partial credit, one mistake in a calculation and the kid has a C. So one little mistake has a huge effect on the grade but piles of homework and classwork count for nothing. Its stressful for the kids and letting them retake up to an A was the counterbalance to that. No kids used the first test for "review" bc every teacher required huge packets to be completed (no credit for completing review packets) before another chance at the four multiple choice questions. [/quote] Agree. No kid is going to do retakes if they can only get a 90%. The teachers make retaking incredibly onerous. The kids have to do huge amounts of (unchecked) work to get to retake.[/quote]
