  Case: Recovery
In our school, endless opportunities to recover assignments are warranted until desired grade is achieved. Should there be a max score students should be able to achieve after the first attempt? Does this prepare our students for after high school?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a big debate at our school as well. We must allow students to make up assignments. We have a ZAP (Zeros aren't Permitted) policy. Students must do assignments and if they are zapped, they do it in Lunch Detention. Other than that, we don't have max score that is school wide. However, I do feel that allowing endless opportunities gives students a false sense of security that will bite them once they enter the real world be it college or work.
