[quote=Anonymous]SOL opt out subscribers. Are you familiar with the differences between PARCC and SOL? Are you aware that the rest of the country who are anti-testing are arguing about an entirely different test? The PARCC tests are WAY harder than SOL's. They require 3rd graders and up to write MANY ESSAYS starting in 3RD GRADE ON THE COMPUTER TYPED. They test logic and reasoning, not just basic math skills and they require TYPED EXPLANATIONS for math answers as well. The SOL tests test very basic learning standards. They are also much shorter to take. If the rest of the country is able to take and many pass these PARCC tests which are incredibly harder, why should Virginia not be giving at least a basic standards test to their children? Does it make sense for the state to do remove these tests? Why in FCPS, APS, and FCCS are we expecting our children to not even take much easier tests than the rest of the country?[/quote]
