FIAE Chapter 10

   The idea of redoing work to me seems like it would only occur in my classroom if the student had an extenuating circumstance, if the grade was really bad and I saw legitimate reasoning or concern from the student, and or the fact that the whole entire class did poorly. Redoing assignments shouldn't become a frequent thing because it's not only good work habit but there's not enough time in the schedule to have students be wasting time redoing assignments when its important to start moving on to other things. As far as helping prepare students for tests or retakes is not a big concern for me and I don't quite understand why teachers feel they need to hide the information from their students or keep it secret. I feel they need to be open and honest with them and tell them exactly what to expect from the test. School shouldn't be a test as to how well they can recall everything discussed throughout the whole unit but rather that they have an understanding of the concepts from that unit. I also agree that allowing students to be redoing work during the last week of the grading period is not only add more stress for the teacher but it also seems really frustrating because it's like the student didn't care about the work until they realized it would impact their grade significantly.
