[quote=Anonymous]ES - take or don't take, it really doesn't matter unless you are thinking about Algebra 1 for next year (in 7th grade).

It is likely true that they will take anyone into Algebra 1 for 7th grade next year (prior years relied on Iowa test and 6th grade math SOL), but as a parent you should want a data point for your 6th grader's math.  Gives you an idea of what and how much to supplement this summer.

MS - probably should take it in order to know what you will need to supplement in order to prepare for math next year.

HS - definitely take it so that you can graduate high school.

To the teacher above who is concerned that VDOE 'will not modify the test to adequately consider the circumstances and constraints of distance learning' - what are you smoking?  The test is not going to change, but VDOE will likely just change (lower) the passing score.

Therefore if you are in HS this year will be the easiest year to pass the SOLs.  Ok, last year was the easiest year.  This year is the second easiest year.

Take the test, pass it this year and you are done for high school.  Parents who misguidedly counsel high school students to skip the SOL this year are just setting up unneeded barriers to graduation for those students.   [/quote]
