Case: Is Retesting Ethical?
We have started implementing retests at my school. If students make below a 70, they have the option to retest. Many feel as though a lot of retests would be fluffing the grade, for once they master that standard, we eliminate that low grade and only count the higher one. Is this the right mindset?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I believe it is. If the overall outcome is to get students to learn then what are the grades supposed to do. I think we should focus on the learning and not the grades. In life the real world will teach them about placement in society because of their time and achievement. In the schooling years I believe that we should merely provide them with the skills to be successful not consequences that do not teach. |

Comments: This is one of the better solutions as it supports a growth mindset within the students. They should not be punished for failure, instead, they should be supported and allowing a retest can assess whether that support is working. |
