[quote=Anonymous]The real problems with the SOL's are that essentially all of the kids have to pass, or the school fails. Or at least fails to meet AYP. That means that, if your school if just a few kids in one subgroup (LD) fail, the school fails. The school failing has direct result in funding and has other impacts. For example, if your base school fails for several years (exact definition of failure is unknown to me), you can choose to go to a different school. But, what are the tests measuring? How well kids know specific pieces of information (benchmarks). I would much rather look at year over year from broader measures. [/quote]
