[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You absolutely should NOT prepare your child for SOL. The SOL is a test for the school. If the school isn't educating your child well enough for them to pass the SOL then the state should know about that. I never prep my children and the one year my child was offered a retake I knew it was purely for selfish reasons from the school, so I declined.[/quote]

Parents that feel this way are only hurting their children. I am a middle school teacher where a significant portion of my students did not pass their last grade level SOL. That means they are even less likely to pass this years. When they get to high school, they have to pass SOLs to graduate.

I am also an AAP parent whose kid got a 600 on their 3rd grade math SOL with no additional support at home, so I see both sides of the coin. If my child was struggling, we would definitely be providing that support - there are only so many minutes of math in the day and many students of.varied abilities (including in full-time AAP).
