[quote=Anonymous]SOLs do not start until 3rd grade so I would not consider that "young elementary," but I have always cared. Not cared like I would be devastated if they did not do well, but these tests do seem to measure a child's grasp of the content, at least to a degree. But if, for example, my child did not do very well on the Reading SOL but did amazingly well on some other reading test, I would feel fine and continue to monitor. I am on my second child who will take a Math SOL shortly that will dictate what Math is available to him next year. And my older one gets percentage bumps on final exams for certain SOL scores. You are free to never care. Many will say it does not matter for anyone but the school and is more a measure of how well the teacher is teaching. But I personally would care if my child does not do well, even if it the teacher's "fault,"[/quote]
