[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they should just get rid of the SOLs and VGAs and other ridiculous test that provide little value and merely generate profit for testing companies. The idea of a verified credit is ridiculous, the kids passed the class or they didn’t. That is what we need to know. [/quote] SOLs ensure the student has minimum competency in the course. It also guards against graduating kids that don't have baseline skills. One reason that the verified credits were reduced in 2017 was so that more kids who passed a course but failed the SOL could still get an advanced or standard diploma. Advanced Diploma: pre-2018, 9 verified credits needed, post-2018, 5 verified credits needed Standard Diploma: pre-2018, 6 verified credits needed, post-2018, 5 verified credits needed https://www.doe.virginia.gov/parents-students/for-students/graduation/diploma-options[/quote]
