Disappointing Test Scores

Today, the students took their exam over Texas Regions, rivers and cities. To say that I was disappointed with the grades would be an understatement. It is clear that very few students spent any time studying for the test. As would be expected, the scores were very poor overall.

The students will have the opportunity to make test corrections tomorrow during class. If they successfully correct the questions they missed the first time, they will be able to recapture half of the points they lost out upon. For example, if a student scored a 60 the first time, he/she lost out on 40 possible points. If that student does his/her corrections, the score could be raised to as high as an 80 (half of the points originally missed).

I will be out tomorrow so the kids will be working during class for a substitute. If they are serious about passing the test, they will work hard and get these corrections done in a timely manner.
