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 never thought this was fair, because if student A made a 71 and student B made a 65 then retested and got a 75, it was unfair to student A. This teaches students just to not study because they can always retake it. I would give ALL students the option to retest once, and average the two grades. |

| Comments: Although I am not in support of comparing students'ability or pace of learning, I do agree with the fact of providing every student the same opportunity to retest. This would ensure that students feel fair to each other while also allowing them all to try and do better if they please. |
