[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let me get this straight. MCPS doesn't return tests but they let kids retake them for higher grades?  Am I the only one who thinks this is ass-backwards? [/quote]

No, you have it backwards.  [/quote]

I can see the tests if I schedule an appointment so I am kinda okay with that, but I do not like the retesting policy.  You either study or you don't.  And this 15% curve they gave for the final algebra exam last year is insane.  Seriously, how bad are these teachers that they can not teach the requirements correctly?  The system and grading is so flawed.  It is nearly impossible to fail a class.  And if my child works hard on time to study and prepare for a test how does another student who didn't but gets a redo allowed the same grade?   If they only want kids to understand and who cares about grades, then why grade to begin with?    [/quote]

This is like the P world in early ES, except everyone is a great student. The grade inflation then makes the SATs all the more critical.

However, retakes were limited at our school. I think you got one or two per class and had to do them within 2 weeks from the original test.[/quote]
