[quote=Anonymous]Our son attends a middle school in VA. So far, their sequence was Science 6, Science 7 (with SOL), Earth Science (with SOL) in 8th grade for all. "Earth Science" is a HS course. Now they'll do pathways with assessment (like in Math): one pathway will be Science 6 -> Science 7 -> Science 8 -> Earth Science in 9th, and the more advanced one will be Adv Science 6 -> Adv Science 7 (w/ SOL) -> Earth Science (w/ SOL) in 8th. My question is: are there separate Grade 7/8 SOLs? The VDoE site lists only an SOL for "Grade 6, Life and Physical Science". Was my son's current science sequence already accelerated (for all) or did they just skip Science 8? Could the reason for the new pathways be that too many kids flunked the science SOL in 7th because it covers 6+7+8th grade content?[/quote]
