[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got to say I really like the retake policy. My kid is in 6th and got his first poor grade ever (C+) on a test. He was beside himself (crying, saying how he was a failure, is not worth anything, is pathetic, and shouldn't even go to school). However, once he calmed down, he was able to email the teacher regarding a retake, recognize what he did wrong (in his case, misread the instructions) and is going to retake tomorrow.

So for kids like mine that experience academic stress (and yes we are seeking help) it is good that he knows that he has a chance to fix things if he makes a mistake. [/quote]

A C+ isn't a poor grade. All of this grade inflation just makes it seem like it is. [/quote]

I suppose. I (as a kid) would have been upset about another below a B in the 90s when I went to school. I mean I would probably be upset with anything below an A to be honest (when I was in school). I don't think this is new. [/quote]

I still remember being horrified by getting Bs on quarterly grades back in the 80s. And I’m still pissed that I got a 90.5 (B) as a final grade in one class. That’s how I lost my #1 rank.
