[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in the class.  Let the kids advocate for themselves.   We can blather on all we want on the forum, but I think it would be a mistake to intervene as parents.[/quote]

I’m guessing a freshman. Because you really have no idea how things get changed at TJ for large scale problems (instead of one kid needing a peer tutor). It isn’t kids talking to brand new teachers and counselors.

No, my kid is a sophomore.   At first the answer was "no curve."  Now it is a new 10 point quiz.  The kids are surely complaining and I think they are being heard.  Do you really think that at the end of the semester that the average grade will be a low C or worse?[/quote]

I just heard a test with 30-40 points back-- enough to get the average grade above an 80 so that most kids will not need to retake.  The quiz being a repeat of questions from the end, that lots of kids did not get a whack at.  Plus, points for test corrections.

We'll see...[/quote]

Oh gee, I hope whatever they decide, it will be adopted by all teachers because I sure didn't hear that at back to school night yesterday. Teacher said bonus quiz for 10-15 points (they haven't decided on how much), and if score is still not good enough for the kids, they may have a retake for up to 80 points. This seemed pretty fair to me although my kid would probably prefer the 30 point bonus quiz. Kids who would not benefit from the retake (those with scores above 75) have a chance to improve their grade while kids who did not do so well originally have a chance to retake for a max of 80 points.[/quote]
