[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington Public Schools only allows test retakes if you are below an 80 and then the highest score possible is an 80. So effectively no retakes that allow for grade inflation unless you are annoyed kids are "inflated" to a B- after having to actually learn the material. [/quote] They are inflated because the retake doesn’t show that it was the second attempt. The grade should have an asterisk next to it so colleges can see that the kid with straight Bs is actually not a B student. They are only a B student due to retakes. There are other kids who are B students and they shouldn’t all be lumped together. [/quote]
