Case: Retake Madness
A teacher works in a school with a mandatory retake policy. Students enrolled in this school may retake or turn in any assignment up to twice in the ten days following the original due date of the assignment. Many students abuse this policy by not putting effort into their tests and waiting until 10 days past the due date of an assignment before turning anything in. This creates a grading nightmare for teachers, and students who wait for retakes or turn in assignments so far beyond the due date tend to perform poorly on the assessments. The teacher feels that this policy is unrealistic and removes accountability from the equation for students, who ultimately will be the ones to suffer for it.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
My school system requires summative assessments with grades below a 70 be given back to the students for an opportunity to redo the assessment. The student can only earn up to a grade of 70. The students are given that day only to redo the assessment. It is a nightmare! I can't even imagine how you policy creates stress among the teachers! If I were the teacher, I would make my assignments due earlier than needed so that the students are not turning them in so late. I would also offer an incentive for students turning in assignments on time or early. Offer homework passes, lunch with a buddy, a Coca-Cola, candy! Any incentive that will encourage students to actually turn it in when it is due! |
