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!) Although I don't necessarily agree with policy, however, if I were to explain to the parents I would kindly let them know that this is a policy set for by the school (if that is so) and explain to them why the policy is in place. And after that, I would suggest keeping them abreast of when the next exams will be so that they are able to help the student adequately prepare for the exam. I know that as a parent I would want to know when the next exam would be and study guide to coincide with the exam to be sure my child was adequately prepared.
