[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard of retakes. I attended private school. My oldest is in MS and has been in private since PreK. No retakes have ever been offered. She is required to correct all errors on homework, quizzes and tests. She is an "A" student, but works really hard for those grades. How do HS and colleges know who was given multiple times to earn a grade vs. only once? I wonder why some areas offer this and some don't. It should be a standard policy in public schools.[/quote]

People hear this and think it is something other than what it is. At our middle school, you can only have a do-over if you get a D, and that will never get you to an A. My DC never got a re-take. Also, no re-takes at all on classes that count for high school credit. And colleges don't care about middle school grades.

Don't worry. Your Private school A student is not at a disadvantage because a public school D student has a second chance to get a C.

A PP just went into great detail about how her B/C student son retakes tests and gets As. So clearly there's some 'discrepancy' about how these policies are applied.

FWIW I think the idea of retaking a test and getting an A is outrageous.[/quote]
