Retaking Unit Tests - Ultimate Frustration
Has Khan Academy had any thoughts about revisiting the reset button issue for Unit Tests?
I understand that "We want to encourage all learners to see that getting problems wrong or not getting 100% on the first try is one of the most important parts of learning" but that does seem to missing the point.
Learners need to be encouraged to continue, not get frustrated and give up. I wonder how many students become fixated on trying to achieve a perfect score at the expense of moving on to a new subject area only to get so frustrated they eventually abandon the whole idea. How does this reconcile with "We want to encourage growth mindset and learning on our platform"?
Surely there is a balancing act that would involve the retaking of tests with encouraging people to continue learning.
