[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again the private school parent preeching about policies they dont really understand.  Mcps replaced mid terms and finals with an end of the quarter test.  I don't think it was a great idea to switch from two tests to four...but they do see the material again and since they are tests not quizzes they are not retakable.  [/quote]

The tests can also be retaken.  The department head meets with teachers every couple of weeks and they decide which tests can be administered again.  So you are wrong, again.[/quote]

Required quarterly assessments can not be retaken.  You are mistaken.  [/quote]

I didn't say quarterly assessments.  I was referring to tests during the quarter.  Are there no tests during the quarter?  Are you saying there is only one test a quarter?  Because that is another problem then.[/quote]

The post you quoted was about the guarterly assessments..  Not aware of actual unit tests being retaken either.  My kids typically get 1 quiz a quarter and sometimes the teacher selects which one.  It rarely is a huge grade changer. A good student can recover from a poor quiz and a struggling student work t be helped much.[/quote]
