[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So after getting at least a half dozen messages over the last two weeks on both my land line and cell phone about the SOLs, plus I don't know how many text messages and emails, somehow my middle schooler went to school today with a full breakfast in his stomach and his iPad all charged etc. etc. and no one from the school directed him to the testing room, so he just [b]went off to class[/b]. It somehow didn't get noticed until 2nd period (9:30), at which point it was way too late to start the test so they told him he would have to do the retake the last week of June. I've been willing to cut the teachers and admins so much slack this whole year, I'm sure it has all been exhausting, but COME ON. I am DONE, the whole SOL thing is so stupid anyhow, there is no way I am going to make him do a "retest" in three weeks to measure how little they covered this year. Filling out the form now[/quote].

He went off to class? Wasn't in-person class not held due to the fact that everyone in the class (who was in the building) would have been taking the SOL?
Are you sure, OP, that this is what happened?[/quote]

Yes, it was Spanish so mix of grades and teacher didn’t realize he was one of the kids supposed to be at the SOL. It was when he went to his next class, which was for his grade, that someone noticed him.

He is in 8th grade but this is his first year in this school and he’s only been going there since March (so maybe been there in person 12-14 times?). He doesn’t really know how things work or his way around since everything is so regimented and there are no assemblies and everyone wears masks etc. But sure, blame my kid for not knowing what to do or where to go for something he’s literally never done, when the school employs a testing coordinator and about 20 counselors and administrators.

Um, there is no SOL for spanish or any world language. Something is not right here.[/quote]
