I’m curious to see how Madison is going to justify to the kids that instead of retakes, they will get reassessments where if they do worse on the second test they now get two bad grades instead of one. While the rest of the county gets actual retakes.

You'd be surprised how many fools there are. I teach HS honors and maybe kid do not do retakes, even the ones who should (below 80).
