[quote=Anonymous][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]

agreed!  If my child works their butt off on time and gets A's why are other kids being allowed to retake tests to up their grade to the same as others got initially.  Final grades look the same.  [/quote]

Then you should be glad there are no retakes allowed on any of the county assessments.  That should separate the wheat from the chaff.[/quote]
