[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools that offer retakes and up to a week to hand in assignments are allowing students to slack off or at least not prioritize their academics. No real deadlines so why would a kid be motivated to study for a test or do the homework on time? This attitude doesn't fly in real life ( I'll pay my Visa bill 2 weeks late) or in college academics. I don't understand this teaching trend. [/quote] One reason is to get the student to understand the material. Not everyone can do well the first time. Isn't it better that they take the test over and understand and remember the material? School already isn't like "real" lfe...as an adult you are around people of all ages but, in school your classroom is with only your peers ( just one example I can give right now without coffee)[/quote]
