[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to wonder how much the teachers union pushed for this to streamline their work. This cuts down on the number of retakes and I bet will also cut down on the number of students that ask for extra help to learn a subject better. Regardless of who pushed for this, it seems like a windfall for teachers that wanted less work. I also bet the number of students who have some sort of grading grievance, even informally, will increase since that would be their only path to a remedy where before a teacher could just say they should retake it.

Imagine the policy last year- a HS teacher with 140 students would have to accept ANY assignment up until the last day of the advisory.  There are a minimum of nine grades per advisory.  Teachers were inundated with late assignments on the last day.  It needed to change.  The retake policy is a bit harsh in my opinion but the previous one was over the top- kids could revise or redo any assignment below a B as many times as they wanted.  That is untenable as well.[/quote]
