[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked at the guidance and two other things stood out to me.

First, there will no longer be semester grades for year long classes.  They will just have full year grades averaging all four quarters.  This seems like a big shift.

Second, two retakes will be allowed per quarter (with some exceptions), [b]which is a major shift from today when retakes are not permitted[/b].  That should help students during the shift to more rigorous grading.[/quote]

What are you talking about? My DS who just graduated from an MCPS high school this year has been allowed to do test retakes all four years of high school.[/quote]

+1  Gradebook literally codes certain assignments as NRT (Not-retakable).   Other assignments are retakable obviously-my kid has retakes pretty frequently.[/quote]

I can only think of one class that offered one retake on one test in both my kids HS careers so far (I have two rising juniors).  It would be good if this standardized across schools.

People are getting test retakes?  Quizzes or some assignments, but never a test.[/quote]
