[quote=Anonymous]Your child's SOL scores will reveal whether she has gaps in reading and math, which I'd want to know as a parent. Next years teachers will use her scores to see if she needs extra help or not. She will gain practice working through long tests, which builds attentional stamina, something kids don't really have these days. She will also gain practice reading and following directions and taking standardized tests, something you have to do well to gain access to most careers these days, not to mention graduate from HS in VA. I think there is too much testing these days, but keeping your child home sends the wrong message. If she doesn't take them with her class, she'll get pulled to make them up anyway probably when her class is doing fun end of the year activities.[/quote]
