[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC experience is similar that some classes have no retakes allowed and those that do, have cannot get more than 3 so maxed out— so effectively if get 100%, get a 4. If get 1 or 2, can retake to get a 3. Hope enough parents go to voice concerns about system.[/quote] An example from a math test today. There were five questions. Four out of five questions 100% correct. For one question, my DC got one part out of the four part question wrong. Grade on the entire test dropped to a B. Not an A- or B+, but a B. Pretty frustrating for my kid who is a super hard worker. They just want to give up at this point. It is just so much pressure for each test. [/quote] 4 correct questions out of 5 is 80%. Your child didn't get a B- they got a B. How is that unfair? I never got partial credit in high school math. I double checked and triple checked my work. [/quote]
