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 dont think it is right for every student to get a retest on every test. This will cause the students to not be prepared as much as they would if they didnt think they were able to retake it. I would say if more than 50% of the students fall below 70% then maybe allow them to retest if they chose. |

| Comments: I do not agree with this as the point of an assessment is to monitor the growth and learning of a child. It is not effective in holding back retest and giving a student a failing grade if they would like to retest. To improve their learning and confidence, it is important to allow retest. Grades are not the end goal in teaching, learning is. |

| Comments: I think this is a good idea to determine if you should give a retest! I did not see this idea mentioned in the other comments either. |
