[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Virginia is reducing the number of SOL tests and they are about to put in a project based assessment as an alternative to the tests. The pendulum is swinging back. The feds are behind, but they will see the light on this soon. [/quote] Oh, how I hope so. My DD lives in terror of the SOLs. Learning is no longer fun and interesting at her school. Now it's just a huge packet of facts they must memorize for the SOLs. Crazy.[/quote] My kids have had fun and find learning interesting in school. My 6th grader, for example, made a solar oven this fall. My 4th grader was writing books on an iPad. They're both playing musical instruments. One is in a school play. The other is reading incredible books. Both schools get top SOL scores every year. Maybe your school is doing it wrong.[/quote]
