[quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP and adding that I guess maybe I’ve already seen some of this at my kids schools for a while I guess, like being able to do test corrections after a math test to raise their grades. I don’t like it. My concern is that it disguises lack of mastery of material/ineffective teaching/tests that are too hard. In my DD’s math class, some of the tests have had a class average in the 60s or low 70s. This is an honors class at a school with pretty motivated kids so to keep this days the material wasn’t taught well (and the teacher seems strong so it may not be that) or the test was too hard. But with the test corrections, the kids get their grades up to Bs, Bplus, something respectable. I don’t think sound the test corrections shows real mastery though and I think this process allows for less mastery of standards. [/quote]
