Apparently it doesn't count. You need to pass it but otherwise, it is only used to judge how well the teacher is doing.

I can assure you kids don't need to pass their SOLs in MS[/b].

This is an ignorant remark, seeing that you don't know what course it is. Students do need to pass certain MS SOLs in math and geography in order to get an HS diploma.[/quote]

LOL!  You know NOT of what you speak! Please note that on the FCPS website, there is absolutely no requirement to pass MS SOLs in math and geography.  Geography is not even offered in MS.  In 7th grade, it's History/Social Studies, in 8th grade, it's Civics.

Some students actually don't even have to pass any HS SOLs to graduate with a standard diploma.  Check out the FCPS site for graduation requirements, [i] "students may utilize substitute tests, certifications, or the appeal process to earn verified credits"[/i].  Verified credits are those [i]"earned when a student passes a course and the associated end-of-course SOL test. [/i]"  So, really, you can graduate HS in FCPS without [b]ever[/b] having passed on SOL. But, if students do pass an SOL, it doesn't have to be the Geography SOL. One of the other History/Social Science SOLs count.

If you still want to insist that 'students do need to pass certain MS SOLs in math and geography in order to get an [sic] HS diploma', please cite your source.  Otherwise, we'll remain convinced you're an ignorant twit.
