[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel you OP. My kid is just 1 point away in two different classes to a higher semester grade and without that he falls below the line for the college he’s hoping to go to. [b]Both teachers have said no to redoing past assignments [/b]or additional assignments. And these are teachers he really loves. I respect the need to be stricter but all other teachers are opening assignments left and right for kids to get grades up. There also should be more nuance to grades vs. 79 is C and 80 is B.

The grading and reporting regulation requires them to offer at least 2 retakes per quarter. Have they offered them yet? See 4a on page 12 of the regulation:

"Teachers must provide students with at least two opportunities per marking period to retake or revise an assessment product designed to evaluate the student’s mastery of content, such as unit assessments, papers, projects, quizzes or tests, and/or performance tasks."

I was told by my admin that once the deadline passes, the student's ability to reassess does too[/quote]

Well that doesn’t make any sense unless your admin also told you that you need to grade the assignment/assessment early enough before the deadline so the student knows whether or not he needs to prep and plan for the reassessment. I don’t see language in the policy that says reassessments must occur before the published deadlines. [/quote]
