[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that third grade teachers were frustrated when they gave the tests and saw that the questions were taken from grade 3 SOLs. Of course, for math, the kids didn’t know the answers, because they hadn’t had that material yet.

It’s so dumb to make kids take tests when you know they haven’t yet learned the material, and it’s frustrating and upsetting for kids, especially for kids who feel that they are good at math and can’t do the problems presented. I’ve had so many kids cry while I reassure them that they haven’t learned it yet, and they are determined to figure it out with many sheets of scratch paper and much erasing, even when I say just guess and move on. All of this testing is not helping.[/quote]

Totally agree.  I am a teacher and a parent of a 3rd grader.  All this did was make him feel like a failure for absolutely no reason.  The legislature voted unanimously to change the end of year SOL into this asinine VGA system 3x/yr (nit just post-COVID) and it infuriates me.
