[quote=Anonymous]Speaking for Virginia only: Special education students do not have to pass all the required SOLs to get the diploma. For one subject, if they fail within a certain range twice (original plus expedited retake), they can get the verified credit. A student with a severe math disability who could read and write fluently could use this option. The reality is that we will teach intensive calculator tricks to get that kind of student to pass. You don't have to know any real math if you know how to manipulate desmos. You won't be able to get all of the questions, but you can get the 50% required to pass if you graph every single expression/equation and look for ones that match. Beyond that, some states offer modified diplomas, some states offer portfolio assessments vs. standardized tests, some states have less requirements for diagnosed disabilities.[/quote]
