[quote=Anonymous]My DC (4th grade) brought home a SOL study guide yesterday (on VA geography) and as she was reviewing it, it was clear she had forgotten pretty much [u]everything[/u] she had learned in the beginning of the year. I'm hoping that some simple reviewing will refresh her memory but as my husband and I were looking over the material we were thinking why does this even matter? Do we really need to spend the next couple of weeks with her reviewing and quizzing her? Do the SOLs matter in the long run? Do they affect what classes she can take in high school? Also, is it our job at home to make sure she is prepared? I know we should [i]help[/i], but isn't it the teachers role to make sure she is prepared? And why in the world does she need to know things like... What body of water surrounds Lake Drummond? What are three examples of architecture that reflects different cultures in colonial times? Seriously WTH? (For the record, she is a good student, but she works really hard to do well and can be a stress case. She also did well on this unit in the beginning of the year.)[/quote]
