[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For kids with retakes in HS, how do they do in college where it’s a one and done test or are colleges now doing variations of retakes too? [/quote]

One of my kids is a freshman in college, graduated from Madison last year. At freshman orientation, they were told no retakes and all late work is automatically 25% off no matter what the excuse. DC said it was a shock. DC is doing fine, but was used to strict rules/traditional grading from attending a private middle school. From what DC tells me, the college may reevaluate test optional because a lot of kids seem unprepared/unable to handle work, but so far no talk of changing grading policy at college level. Because of test optional, colleges may not yet realize the impact of the changes in grading and instruction at the high school level. High schools all over VA are implementing some form of SBG/equity grading and reducing academic rigor. [/quote]

The college is not being fair!  What about equity?[/quote]
