Not all students learn at the same pace, and some may need to do the work more than once before they master the material. For this reason, teachers should allow students to redo work. The teacher should make it clear that work may be redone at her discretion, and that students will not always be allowed to redo their work. Teachers should also require parents to sign the original work so they are aware the student is redoing it. The student needs to know exactly what the expectations are. The only time students should not be allowed to redo work is during the last week of the grading period because the teacher already has enough to grade without having to grade redone work as well.
When grading redone work, the teacher should allow the student to earn the full grade. Only allowing the student to earn up to a B, or averaging the two grades together punishes the student for not learning at the same pace as the rest of the class and may discourage that student in the future. If a student is always asking to redo work, the teacher should find out why and find alternative aid for that student if necessary.
Since education is about learning, not about getting everything right on the first try, allowing students to redo work is a good idea. There should be specific requirements for redoing work so that students do not ignore an assignment because they know they can just redo it. Teachers should allow students to redo work on a case by case basis, using what they know about that student to determine if he or she should be allowed to redo the work.
