[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The grading becomes completely unmanageable for core classes if you allow retakes [/quote] We’re talking about teachers who do not allow even one retake. —MCPS teacher who allows 2-3 a marking period.[/quote] We have several teachers who are not allowing any retakes and many kids are failing the class. They give a quiz every week, with only a few questions on the test (often just two), so if you get one wrong or even partially wrong you fail and the entire test. [/quote] This is what I have noticed that is really poorly designed. If you give a quiz with four questions the only opportunities for grades are a perfect score or a C or F. I feel like graded assessments should have an opportunity for a B grade too. [/quote] Individual items don't have letter grades. Only the quarterly total gets a letter grade. [/quote]
