Hi parents - just taking a quick poll. Our high school has a test retake policy which allows kids to retake a test once and replace the grade if the retake grade is higher. Another school in the district reportedly allows unlimited retakes until you get to an A. At a recent gathering of freshman parents, one parent told the superintendent it was "unfair" that the 2 high schools have different policies. I was flabbergasted. This is only our second year at this school and I find it bizarre that there is a retake policy at all! Is this a normal practice? Am I the only one who thinks this practice is actually harmful rather than helpful?
