[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming summative is just a word of art to mean unit test, project or paper?

So grade inflation increases while kids have fewer chances to fix or catch up when they messed up on a test. Sounds like a winning strategy.

Yes although for problem students there are ways to retake tests till you achieve the desired B or C middle passing grade but none of that shows up in the grading. So a child could retake the test four times and no one would ever know because the retakes no longer show up in SIS. [/quote]

Yes this. I'm all for retakes especially for students trying to work out something challenging for them and kids with special needs but if you have to retake the test multiple times over then you are in the wrong class. Not showing retakes in SIS does not give an accurate picture of how the student is doing. Its confusing to me why this is considered more accurate grading and how this is different than just grading quizzes and homework.

What prize does society get for everyone getting a B or C on the tests but one kid took it once and the other five times? What is supposed to happen as a result?[/quote]
