@thumper1 “But didn’t you say your kids could have access to these tests?”
The quizzes and tests are returned to the students, after grading, in class. Then, the teachers collect them and file them some where. If a student want to have a longer time to review, he/she has to ask the teacher, and the student’s test is then placed in a test center room for a limited time to review it. Parents who want to see it if there are concerns, etc, they also has to make a request and review it in the test center room as well. I heard tests are rarely sent home; in those cases, parents have to sign lots of forms.
At times, my oldest found errors in teacher’s correction at times and asked for review and correction. He’s definitely comfortable with self-advocacy. My middle is not comfortable with it so I could imagine her just accepting tests grades. I am not implying that teachers made mistakes on grading her tests. I do think having longer time to review privately to process everything, including her errors, would have been helpful for her to learn. My youngest is a freshman so all this new to him. He’s learning how to self-advocate.
As I stated in a previous post, I do not want to see my children’s exams; they are not my work and it’s just another paper item I don’t have to recycle. My children do their homework and study independently; their tests are their work. I do think past tests can be a study guide for final exams though. This issue is just a minor quibble of mine.
