So a couple of days ago, I overheard my math teacher tell two students that they could retake their tests, something never heard of in our class. The way I heard it was basically because I sat infront of the class and she called the kids up front after class and asked if they wanted to retake it. I am super pissed because my test grades suck too but she never gave me a chance to do that. What am I suppose to do? I hinted towards her to ask, I was like can I get some extra credit and she replied something complicated.

Btw, I'm in high school and because math is in my last period and other people were getting ready to leave, I just sat down in my desk and overheard them.

There is some other reason as to why they got to retake their tests that you don't know about. Maybe they play a sport and were forced to miss class? Athletes tend to get special treatment at times. Or it could simply be for personal reasons..

You could always ask one of them why they got to retake the test if you're chill with them i guess...

No, I know both oft them and they don't miss class often. I asked one of them, and she told me to stop butting in other people's conversations (she was friendly about it, not all pissed) But from what I heard from the teacher, she said like you can do alot better and the grade you got doesn't reflect your intelligence.

If it's as you say, the teacher is in the wrong.

EDIT: They must be good in the sack.

Teachers aren't above making mistakes. If you feel that you should have an equal chance at the retake, then you should ask the teacher politely if it would be possible for you to take it again. I don't think you should mention the other students, though. But if she says no, then I think it's better to drop the issue and stay on her good side, and aim for a higher grade with the next test.

you should find out from those 2 kids why they get to retake the test.

also, how bad was your score? i know some teachers that have a cutoff score for people who want to retake it. So if the cutoff was a 75 and you got a 77, while they got 60's, they get to retake but you can't. There's a lot of other stuff, too, depending on the teacher. Like if they retake it, they can't get higher than, say, an 80 or 75.

Find out from the teacher her test retaking policies, and it'll let you make a better decision on how to go about this.

You have Eschels right? Knowing her, it's probably mainly because of what you said, that she feels that their test grades don't reflect their intelligence. She probably feels that they work very hard and deserve to get a break. She may not feel the same way about you and/or others, and may feel that you or others don't put in much effort and therefore don't deserve a second chance.

I dunno, I always got the impression that Eschels played favorites a bit. Not to the point where it was really unfair, but it was definitely noticeable. If these students are ones that she knows well, chances are her reasoning will simply be that she feels they work very hard and that they deserve to have a second chance to reflect their intelligence.

She has a lot of pull around there too, as I'm sure you're aware, so even if you are in the right I doubt much will happen. She can always justify her actions by saying that if you're not willing to try hard in her class, then you don't deserve a second chance. No ones really gonna contest that with her.

Haha orlandu, no its not her, its mrs romans. I had eschels temporarily but mrs romans is back. I was gonna ask eschels actually if there was a retaking policy thing, because the math department (especially her and romans) work together and stuff.

ieatkids5, one of my test grades were alot lower than that from a while back and she's letting some girl take it, that test was like 1-2 months ago.

Ah, I dunno Romans well, never had her. I wouldn't doubt that she'd have similar reasons though, but yeah you should definitely ask about it. I think it's a little unfair to not extend that opportunity to everyone, regardless of how good or bad of a student you are. Maybe there's a good reason for it, maybe they just did really, really badly on a test (like below 40-50% or something).

Unless your teacher has been dodgy in the past or gives the vibe that she doesn't like you there's really no need to intrude.

dont ask for a retake yet, ask her what constitutes being able to retake a test aka what her test retake policies are. if she asks why, just say youre curious and, if necessary, you want to know if you can raise your grade. she cant not tell you. see what she says. there might be a requirement for a retake that fits those 2 kids but not you. if not, then you have the right to a retake.

i guess if she lies, then you cant do anything about it
theres really nothing that you can do if she lies unless you find out why those 2 kids got to retake it, and if the only reason also fits you, then youre also entitled to a retake.

some teachers give breaks to good kids though. like if a kid who is always missing homework and skips class fails a test, the teacher may not let him retake. if a kid is always on time and does all his stuff and suddenly does bad on a test, she may let him retake.

complicated stuff lol

just see what your teacher can do for you

or forget about it and play sc; some things are more trouble than theyre worth. decide for yourself (i cant decide cuz i dont know your teacher) if this is the case.

I suggest you asking those kids why they are retaking the test, and if your situation is better than theirs, i guess it's lights out for you mate =/

so whats the full context of this situation? did those two kids fail horribly? did either or both of them happen to be away or had some sort of event that mightve affected their performance (eg sickness, etc)

Just ask why they were allowed a retake and if you can have one. Public conversation in a public school... you've done nothing wrong.
