  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!)
Great post! I wish I had a solution, but I don't. I only commented because I absolutely agree. I told my instructional coach that it should be mandatory for students to come tutoring,those who failed, if it is mandatory to retest.
