[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids learn more when they have a chance to relearn and retake. I know that there’s a belief it leads to grade inflation but the point is for kids to learn. We’ve had a few teachers in MCPS allow it over the years but first the teachers required students to participate in a reteaching activity. I thought this was sensible. One of my 3 kids attended a private school where they could retake to earn back 50%. It was a real motivator for him to keep at difficult concepts. When would the reteaching happen? At lunch or after school? And teachers should spend their weekends grading and regrading. At some point, this job is not sustainable especially since the pay is not great. I have friends making 150k working fully remote and maybe putting in 30 hours a week. MCPS needs to give teachers an extra planning period [/quote]
