Case: One Retake per Semester
Students are allowed one retake per semester. 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!)
This is a tough situation, because as a teacher, I appreciate when parents are involved in their child's education. I would ask that the parent come in for a parent/teacher conference and if this is a school policy, I would have an administrator sit in on the meeting. I would explain that their child has already retaken the exam once, and that as a teacher, it would be unfair to allow them to retake it again. I also would let the parent know that I would be more than happy to contact them prior to any future exams so they can make sure their child is prepared for it. |
