[quote=Anonymous]I think the retake up to 100 was not a Covid thing. It was added when the ratio of Summative to Formative switched so dramatically. If summative counted for so much, they wanted to give kids a chance to bring it up. My impression was that they realized that 100 didn't make sense (it doesn't). The teachers thought it was ridiculous and made it very unappealing to do a retake- you had to do so much extra work just to be allowed to take harder test. As a result, the kids doing the most retakes were the strongest students... in other words, it wasn't enticing the kids who really needed to learn new material as much as it was getting the stronger students to try to up their grades.[/quote]
