[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are correct that students are supposed to be able to retake any assessment on which they scored below a 90%. Limiting the students to cramming retakes in to one day also limits their opportunity to retake whatever assessment they need. I would reach out to the teacher first and just ask what the plan is for students who do not complete the retakes during that retake day. She may tell you that they can finish during advisory or something. If she tells you it all has to be done in 90 minutes or else it can't be done, then go up the chain. Any deviation from the grading and reporting guidelines has to be approved by the county. Perhaps they got it approved. Perhaps they didn't. But there should be consistency and the point of the policy is to make sure all students have the same opportunities. HOW they get those opportunities can vary from school to school but not the actual ability to retake any assessment they need to. They cannot deviate. [/quote]

Wow I didn't know FCPS allowed up to 90.  APS is up to 80 only.

The retake policy is a nightmare for the teachers especially in classes where tests are time consuming to grade.  [/quote]
