SEC: Policies on returning tests

[George Anne Draper <Gdraper@WYNNE.K12.AR.US>]

This is a non sequitur, but I hope you will indulge me. We are
having a brouhaha at high school because the teachers won't
let the students take test papers home with them for the
parents to see. It is not that the teachers don't want the
parents to see the tests,(parents are encouraged to come see
them),but teachers know that some of the students have copying
machines at home and make copies to pass on to students who
have not had the tests or to little sisters and brothers, etc.
There are some questions that you simply want to ask each
year, and while some might remember them to pass them on, it
is not like having a copy of the test from which to study. We
also are on block scheduling which compounds the problem of
letting students take the tests home with them. Students seem
to look for as many ways as possible now not to read and
study. **The question is "Does your school have a policy about
returning tests to students to take home?" How does your
school handle this?  Thanks for taking the time to reply.
