Alex had a math test today. It wasn't a particularly difficult test, but the directions kind of confused him. The first question told him to use mental math, so he used mental math on ALL the problems. Whoops. The total score was 50%.
I sent the teacher an e-mail explaining what happened and asked if it would be possible for him to re-take the test. She reset it for us, and this time working out the problems, he got 100%. If this had happened last year at the b/m school he was attending, I'm pretty sure the teacher wouldn't have allowed it. I'm so glad we have this level of understanding and flexibility.
Seriously, that is awesome. I'm glad they are open minded about the whole thing. This is one reason I think schools like his are awesome, if it can be done by the parents/kids, etc. I'm so glad this is working for you guys.
