[quote=Anonymous][quote]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.

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.

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. [b]Both schools get top SOL scores every year.[/b]

Maybe your school is doing it wrong.[/quote]

You are not at a Title 1 school.  You are in a school that gets top SOL scores every year.  Your neighborhood is probably in the top 5% of incomes in America.  There's a HUGE difference.  Your children will always be entitled.  And you are so entitled that you get to decide what the less entitled of America have to do. And you get to rub their noses in the great things your kids get to do at their schools.  So happy for YOUR children.   [/quote]
