  Case: Broken Arm
Ms. Sally has a student who has come to class with a broken arm on the day of their unit test. Because the arm that the student has broken is also the hand that he uses to write, it will be impossible for him to write his answers on his test. The grades for the unit test must be submitted that day, so there is no possibility for him to make the test up on another day. Ms. Sally can not use class time to personally administer the test to this student because must monitor the rest of the class while they take their test. What is Ms. Sally to do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Grades can be amended even after a grading period has been closed. When students miss the week before winter break and miss finals, a zero is entered for the grade and students have to make the exam up when they return. If administering the test during planning does not work out, the teacher can request that parents bring the student in early and administer it early the next morning.

Comments: The student may not be able to remember the information by the time the student's arm is repaired. It is best to find a solution by the end of the day so the student's anxiety is assuaged and they won't have to worry about future testing and forgetting information.
