Chapter 10

Abstract: This chapter is about allowing redos in the classroom. If a student needs more time to get something done, let them get it done. We're not testing how quickly they can do it, but that they master it and really learn the material. But at the same time there nees to be some guidelines, otherwise a teacher will geta ton of work on the last day of the grading period and it will be awful. Work with the students and really find a system that works for them when it coems to getting work done. Don't let them abuse the redo system, make sure students aren't taking advantage of yu as a teacher. Go over the guidelines, make sure students know exactly what is expected of them.
Reflections:
It's nice that for once we see somethign for the teacher. Putting the teacher in the best interests, you don't hear that very often, it's refreshing. I really do like the idea of allowing for redos, and it makes total sense to put somewhat of a time limit for the sanity of the teacher. The chapter was realistic and made sense. We also liked the idea of choosing if students can redo tests. If students don't study because they know they get to retake the test after seieng the questions...... no fair for the teacher.
