[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this will make many kids go: let me give the test a shot without studying and see if I can get a score that I can live with. Then if it is within a couple of points close to what they want, they would give up on make up because they realize now they have to study the test just for a couple of points.

This might end up hurting the kids even more. When you suddenly remove the incentive to study for tests the first time, you have more students who would not study for tests.

We’ve had this policy all year and this was not the case in our house. It takes a lot of time to retake- remediation and then the retake during advisory time or after school. Many retakes take up a lot of time and my kid was very happy when he got an A and didn’t have to retake so he studied. Honestly, he only got a higher score on the retake about half the time so while I am glad they have retakes it didn’t change his attitude and sometimes didn’t improve his grade. [/quote]
