What do you do when kids don't opt to retake a learning target? In my honors classes, the kids are real go-getters. They are self-driven (for the most part) and when they have a chance to bring their grade up and retake a target, they do. In my regular level Statistics class, though, I have kids that are settling for the D. Ok, it is their right to settle for less than perfect. I get it. But the problem arises when kids are settling for an F...
Part of the difference is in how I am grading. I honors, the kids either get the target or they fail the target. In Stats, I am giving them percentage on each target. But I have astonishing amount of kids who could do better but simply choose not to.
While I have no suggestions to offer, I wanted to throw this out there as a problem that I am encountering...perhaps I will be back to offer some helpful insights IF I figure this out...
