[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should be a maximum B grade after a retake.[/quote] Last year's retake policy made sense. Retakes on major assessments only. Max retake score= 80%. This year is crazy. My kid said her teacher had to use the lecture hall to offer retakes on the most recent test because over 50 students wanted to retake the test. Talking to her friends, almost all of them said they had gotten 85%-95% on the original test. The teacher said the class average (in my daughter's class) was an 89%. Now that teacher has to re-grade over 50 essay-based assessments because those students wanted to get an extra 5%-10%, and the overall impact on their grade will be less than 0.1%. That's ridiculous.
