A parent contacts you to request their child be given a second chance to retake an exam. How do you respond? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Respectfully explain to the parent that every student has been given the opportunity to retake one exam. For you as a teacher to permit one student special treatment and let them re take a second exam would be unfair to the rest of the class. It is not required for you as a teacher to let students retake exams and you have to be sure students are not just being given a good grade, but that it is earned.
