[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC failed a math SOL in ES.  Do not count on FCPS to do anything!  We didn't find out until Summer.  The next year found out child was being placed in special ed pull out for math.  Child had no documented issue and school did not test.  We then decided to find her a tutor to evaluate and work to get back on grade level.  Best thing we ever did!!  Stayed with a tutor through ES.  Child ended up taking calculus senior year!  FCPS is a good school system, but you cannot count on it to help your child if there is no documented issue. Special ed pull out was not the way to go as there would be not accommodations at the next years SOL.  [/quote]

If you child failed by more than a few questions, they do not notify you until summer because the student does not qualify for a re-take. Yes, the special ed pull out for math was to remediate since the child failed by enough that they did not think it was just a fluke. What accommodations would you even want for the next SOL exactly? Special Ed kids don't get accomdations for SOLs other than the test can spread out for more days.

In your case, sounds like the school did exactly what they should have done-provide remediation and extra support. Good for you for hiring a tutor. Not everyone can afford that, but even those who can afford it sometimes won't. The SOL test let you know your child had struggles. If it were not for the test, you might not have hired help. Well done school and parent. [/quote]
