[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked the policy. My senior failed 2 calculus tests initially, went over the mistakes with his teacher, studied again with a better knowledge, and got As. He wouldn't have mastered the content without the opportunity. [/quote]
In the case of a failed test they’d still get to retake under the policy changes[/quote]

[b]But can only get up to an 80.  [/b]

I think this gets rid of the A hunting pretty effectively but attempts to allow for genuine remediation when needed.[/quote]

I think this is fair. Students should be able to have some way to distinguish themselves more for college applications. Students who catch on more quickly to material and master the skills right away = As. Those who aren't quite as quick at learning some concepts or take longer = B. Depending on the nature of work, as an employer, I'd like to know which one the applicant is; as a professor/academic advisor, I'd like to know to help the student choose the best-fitting classes.[/quote]
