[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"There are no retakes in real life"

Bogus. Everything I do in life has retakes! The proposal my husband worked on all weekend was submitted to his boss a dozen times for review/rewrites. The design the contractor submitted for our kitchen took 3 attempts before we were happy. The software I designed last year was shown to the client on 100s of occasions before sign off. Life is a series of do overs.[/quote]

Taking a test isn't handing a proposal to a colleague or supportive boss to look over before it's due, it is handing it to the client. Which you don't get to do a second time.

Taking a test isn't making a design of a kitchen that everyone knows is a collaborative effort and needs to be discussed with the client several times before getting sign-off. It's having the actual kitchen built... in a bad way... after sign off. Which you'd absolutely lose business over and cannot undo/redo in an easy way.

The test is a final end point from which there is no return and no way to "do over". Start looking at it like that and get your kids to do the same, and you might find that your kids actually take the subject seriously, do the work, and get the grade you think they deserve when they actually take the test.[/quote]
