[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So on the flip side...maybe this will help NOVA too kids stand out? Bc if they do well on the SOL and other parts of the state don't...it will shed light on the grade inflated schools.[/quote]

Stand out where??  High school transcripts are about getting your kid into college, not about proving NOVA is more agressively competitive than rural parts of Virginia.  That's proven in many other data sets (AP tests, national merit scholars, etc.  Have you seen the US News VA school rankings??) This policy is only set to motivate kids to put in more effort on SOLs so that the district honchos can claim victory. Adding incentive on this test has nothing to do with educating kids better and it has nothing to do with benefiting out kids. As my high schooler preps for his 5 AP tests in the next two weeks and then finals after that, I'm really happy he's not taking time from what matters for college apps to boost egos for FCPS leadership. Honestly, one decision after another shows that the public schools really don't care about the kids at all.  [/quote]

Almost everything they do is for appearances sake.  The whole TJ admissions thing was driven by appearances.[/quote]
