[quote=Anonymous]Just out of curiosity. I grew up in 4 countries, 2 in South America, 2 in Europe. We always had finals, since first grade (my mom told me in a conversation we had yesterday.) So at the end of the year, the teachers gave out a study guide and they didn't even review too much in school, we had to study at home. Then we took the tests for actual grades, and it showed how prepared we were for the following year, or in some cases it showed that some kids needed summer school or additional enrichment so they wouldn't fall behind the following year. The SOLs in elementary school don't even count for a grade, so why are parents so against them? Do they feel it is too stressful for their children? Why is a comprehensive end of year review so bad? Thanks for the responses. [/quote]
