[quote=Anonymous]In our MS, the highest grade you can make on a retake is an 80, and it has to be made up in a week (? or something like that) and YOU have to initiate the retake. It's not automatic. So, if you get a 56 on a test, you at least get a chance to bring the grade up. Not to an A, but teetering on the edge of a B and C. I'm not sure what schools other posters are at, but 80 is the highest grade in our school - and this applies to tests only. Not to quizzes or homework - those remain. My DD excelled at online school last year, and has had some bumps this year. She is a Straight A student, etc etc but has appreciated the chance to retake in her one class. I know she had struggled with the fact that it was all optional open note last year and now it's not - I don't think that affected her grades per se (although some will say that it did, but truthfully she did not use open notes) but it has affected her confidence big time.
