Teachers in Alberta, Canada will know what I am talking about here.

Are parents pulling their kids out of the tests? What are you then doing about the grade?

I teacher a number of teachers' kids and they want to pull their kids but my course outline says the achievement test is 25% of the student's grade. The principal says no shows for the test will have to take a zero.

What are other schools doing? How do teachers feel about this?

Secondly. Is anyone out there going to mark tests this summer? Do you know anyone who is? I would like to get in touch with anyone that is.
