[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]here is the deal:  5th grade SOL's matter to the school, and to the teacher.  They do not impact the kids.  The school needs a certain percent to be rated acceptable by NCLB rules.  Teachers are graded based on the students performance.

But, kids are not.  I personally hate what SOL's have done to the classroom experience.  When DD's AAP class basically spent 3 months prepping for the tests rather than learning, something is wrong.

FWIW, DD got 2 passed advanced (science and writing) and to passed (math and reading).  I was surprised by the reading because she is a prolific reader.  She reads books 10x faster than my wife.[/quote]

Life is full of tests even in college. Feel good bullshit follows this ...
