[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids who actually need the retakes almost never take them. They should put a limit on who can retake a test (eg, c or lower).[/quote]

Nah. If a kid wants to make sure he gets an A in the class instead of a B, nothing wrong with that at all.[/quote]

Too bad this new grading policy wont be enforced for all Fairfax high schools. Apparently equity only matters if you have a principal who cares about their students more than their own careers. Why is the school board and administration allowing this to happen? [/quote]

Where does it say this policy will not take place at all high schools? It looks like this is a new policy to standardize all the high schools since they currently all have different policies.

I do wonder how this will affect the schools using the SBG method though. [/quote]

This won’t apply to schools with SBG. There are no retakes. New grades can replace old ones, but not on the same material. Supposedly on the same “skills.”  It is a hot mess and everyone knows it, otherwise the new grading policy would be SBG rather than something new. It is unfortunate that kids at Madison and Herndon have a totally separate grading policy. [/quote]

Wrong. It applies to all schools, inc, JMHS and Herndon.[/quote]
