[quote=Anonymous]For the purposes of OP's question about Hoffman Boston, when my kids were there, they made a big deal out of the SOLs - multiple emails to parents with the schedule and reminders about getting good sleep the night before, eating breakfast, etc.. The younger grades made craft projects in art class for older grades for good luck! The teachers sometimes brought in treats like donuts/candy the morning of the test. It was all kind of...sweet, I guess, in a school spirit sort of way? But I also found it disturbing that they placed so much emphasis on these tests. I will say, though, that my kids and their friends never worried too much about it, so I think the teachers were the ones stressing but did not push that pressure down to the kids.[/quote]
