Question
|
I am currently working with school administration and Math department teachers at one high school who have a unique assessment practice. When students given back a marked test or quiz, they must schedule a 1:1 with the teacher to go over their corrections. If they do not show-up for the meeting, they receive a zero for the test or quiz.
This is a practice that I can not find written of in any research, or practiced in any other high school in the province. It has a significant and detrimental impact upon students and grades their behaviour, not achievement.
Have you come across this practice at any other school in Canada?

No, I have never come across this unfortunate practice. Students having a 1:1 with teachers
to go over tests and quizzes is an excellent practice but zeroes are ethically unacceptable.
Math teachers should be able to understand this as they know the mathematical principles
that are violated by the use of zeros.
