[quote=Anonymous][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.

How many retakes did you take when you were in school? [/quote]

+1.

The retake policy is supposed to help kids who are in danger of not passing a course. It was relaxed during COVID but it was never supposed to lead to the rampant grade inflation we see now.

As a parent of a “straight A” student who would be an A- student but for all the retakes, I applaud the change.  I’d rather DC find out that they need to work hard and do their best the first time while in high school than be shell shocked in college.[/quote]
