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!) Retesting is ethical if it is not forced, or used as a form of punishment. Redemption is not fluffing the grade, it is a reinforcement of knowledge that may have been weak.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree! using retesting as a punishment seems cruel and not like the best idea, but f a student has the desire to try again its a great idea Rated On: April 1, 2023 6:42 pm Rated By: aVuSyT
