EducationCommunication & Collaboration4HighTeacher$ implied
A teacher is struggling to communicate poor summative test scores to parents while protecting test integrity and managing a retake process, with limited gradebook comment options.
The online gradebook has very little space for comments to explain retake intentions, and there's no easy way to communicate test integrity concerns or retake timing to parents, especially helicopter parents.
