It was ruled yesterday that Gunn High School in Palo Alto had violated the requirements for AP testing and will have a majority of the students retake their AP test. It was ruled that the high school allowed the students to sit to close together and did not provide the 5 foot rule between students. All scores on the test will be removed and the new score will completely overwrite the old one. Students and parents are outraged and feel finals should be removed as a result because of more studying for AP testing. Do you think the students should get finals removed?
I would remove them because it's not the students fault. If they had been told to sit 5 foot away from each other, they would have done it. It would not be fair for the students to have both tests because they would be paying for the school's mistakes. Another possibility would be to use the grade of the removed AP tests as the grade for their final.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laura, I think that their finals should be removed because of all the stress they would have if they were to have to retake the AP test and also worry about their finals all in such a tight schedule before school ends. I would blame the school for not telling the students there is a 5 foot rule.
