[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had an A in math all year until one “unit test” given during the final exam period brought him down to an A-. Since it isn’t a “final exam” the policy of it not being able to bring his grade down doesn’t apply. It was three days before the last day of school and the teacher offered no remediation. Not a thing in the world my kid could do about it. The issue with the school board limiting the number of assignments/tests this year is that fewer grades make each one worth way too much. [/quote] Then this particular teacher was not using the "Total points" policy. As far as I can tell, most teachers are using it but not all. The normal method of grading is to have tests carry more weight than homework , etc. I really hope they go back to this[/quote]
