[quote=Anonymous]My kids ALWAYS score low on SOLs, despite good class grades and good scores on other tests. Have you ever looked at one of those SOL tests? During covid I worked on the samples for 3rd and 6th grade with my kids and they were not good tests. Poorly worded questions with bad multiple choice options. Or content that they didn't really focus on (rightly) over the year. Sometimes, especially for younger students, they are asked questions in a way they've never seen before and have a hard time reframing concepts they really do understand into a new way of applying them. I've never put much stock in SOL results, which makes me even more mad that apparently they are going to be part of the grade moving forward. Really bad idea. I think my kids have learned much more from teachers who aren't stuck teaching the literal SOL content than they will learn from teachers who have to get these kids getting good grades on a test that isn't meant to be graded.
