[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That they aren’t required to take, just to boost the school’s stats? As in kids that already have all their verified credits in that subject. Why are they pressuring kids anyway?[/quote]

Why? Because everyone is worried about test scores and what they tell the state. Wouldn't you want the A students who already have their verified credit taking the SOL and helping to bump up the school average and the County average if you were an Administrator? The kids who pass advanced on their first round of SOLs are the ones they want taking the SOL because their scores are far likely to be higher than the kid who failed the SOL last year and is taking it again this year to get the verified credit.

Nope. That’s not the responsibility of the smart kids. My Junior took 4 AP exams. She’s not sitting for the reading SOL just to appease the principal. I despise how they try to sneak it in. [/quote]

That one is legit. She can skip the writing SOL if she took the AP Lang exam (a score of 2 or above counts for the verified credit). But the required credit for reading is usually satisfied by taking the SOL. [/quote]
