[quote=Anonymous]I am considering opting my elementary school-aged kid out of SOLs. What are the pros and cons of doing this, in your opinion, and what do the kids who are opted out do on test day? Stay home? Sit in the classroom and do nothing? My kid gets good grades and did well on the SOLs last year (scores in the 500s with one 600) and I don't really see the point of all the standardized testing and the pressure it puts on the younger kids. The scores aren't used for class placement or anything that could benefit the child is he/she does well, so what is the point other than the school being able to say their students passed the SOLs.[/quote]
