[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a crazy idea. I know, like a PP said, my kids often have a strong A in a class but only pass proficient on the SOL. I think this is because the teachers don't teach to the SOL exactly so some questions are worded differently or approached differently than they see all year. I think the current system is fine - it shows that they have a basic understanding of the subject without the teachers having to "teach the test" all year and creating added stress of having it count as a formal grade. 10% is A LOT![/quote] Teachers are teaching to the test. They have entire SOL prep sessions for the month before the SOL. that was when my kid had Lexia and ST Math homework in ES, the month before the SOL. In MS, he has an entire series of homework and in class assignment grades that are labeled SOL Prep 1-10. I would be concerned if my kid had an A in a class and passed proficient on the SOL. [/quote]
