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!)
To remedy this problem, I would suggest trying to facilitate a meeting with both teachers and leaders in which both side collaborate on a possible solution. Perhaps getting students (student government representatives) involved will further help to remedy the negative effects of the school's current policy. When students are aware of expectations, whether high or low, they will perform accordingly. Therefore, it is no surprise that many students are waiting until the final day to complete the assessment. |

| Comments: I would definitely try to speak with administration if the situation is out of control. I understand where they are coming from but it seems like now it is out of control. Tweaking a few details may make all the difference. At the end of the day, we have to do what is best for the students and as long as learning is taking place, there are many ways you can achieve it. |
