</span>This works wonders at stopping the grade grubbers in their tracks. An<br>
error in a question leads to ALL tests being re-evaluated. A student<br>
error in their answer leads to that student test being regraded.<br>
<br>
It will stop after the first quiz.<br>
<br>
And be to fair, always include one crappy question that get thrown out<br>
during the initial grading to show that you are paying attention during<br>
the grading process to everything.<br>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you<br>
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his<br>
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.<br>
