[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yay! Let’s teach our kids to not prepare for tests so we can take them again. Let’s also teach them that emails from mommy get stuff done. It’s no wonder nobody wants to teach. [/quote]

Yes emails from parents work. I highly recommend them![/quote]

That’s okay. My kid studies for tests the first time and doesn’t need mommy to email his teachers. [/quote]

When a teacher blatantly disregards a country policy, yes an adult needs to step in. In fact, this teacher was doubling down during math class saying no retakes but did a complete turnaround 2 hours after school. This teacher creates a culture of fear and kids are scared to approach her.[/quote]

DP, but our DCs apparently have the same teacher.  I’m glad someone spoke up. One of the reasons I liked this teacher so much was because they made the test retake policy explicitly clear at BTSN. And like it or not, it’s FCPS policy. You can’t just flippantly change it because you suddenly don’t agree with it. I mean, imagine if we lived in a country where you could just change laws on a whim because you don’t agree with them. What kind of message does this send to the kids? [/quote]

Yes, but if it is a rolling grade book, can’t the retest occur next quarter?[/quote]

Yes, I would assume this is what the teacher meant. That the grade stands for q1, no time to retake, but there will be a retake after. Confirm that -7th graders are dramatic and many could just be flipping out that their parents will see a bad q1 report card.  [/quote]

At least two other teachers, one in high school and one in middle school, posted the same thing on Schoology. The test grade stands for first quarter, but there will be a retake right after second quarter begins. Because there's a rolling gradebook and neither teacher has seniors in her class, it's no big deal.[/quote]
