Students at my school are often allowed to try again – missing homework means missing recess to complete the homework you have not finished. Managing it and holding students accountable can be a challenge, but students are able to see the connection within their free time.

In some cases, I see myself extending grace and patience to students who know better and are testing the limit, yet as learners, they need to be reminded of the standard and given the opportunity to try again to reach the goal.
