[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Schools already don't let kids graduate if they don't meet standards. In Virginia, you have to pass SOL tests to get a diploma. In Maryland, you have to pass High School Assessment tests to get a diploma. [/quote] That question wasn't about graduation. It was about retention. Are you going to hold back a third grader who is not ready for fourth grade standards?[/quote] For one thing, if you were going to hold back a third-grader, you would hold the third-grader back for not meeting the third-grade standards. For another thing, Virginia and Maryland already had standards, before the Common Core standards. And Virginia has not adopted the Common Core standards. Do Virginia schools hold back students who don't meet the SOL standards? Did Maryland used to hold back students who didn't meet the standards Maryland had before adopting the Common Core standards? It's a school, school district, and state issue. It's not a Common Core issue.[/quote]
