[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade? ES it doesn't matter. HS does have some classes that you have to pass the SOL.

If your kid is in ES, I would look at practice questions and help her get comfortable with the format. She has to pass some eventually, use this as practice for taking this type of test. [/quote]

Nope.  This should be happening at school. Not at home. Signed FCPS teacher [/quote]

I am not a big fan of letting my child fail when I can help them pass. I would rather take the time to teach my child test taking skills so that they learn how to take a test properly because at some point in time, [b]they need to be able to pass standardized tests on a computer.[/b] Allowing my kid to develop test anxiety is not acceptable.

For my entire life, I took all my tests on paper until I took the GMAT. Somehow I managed to ace it. Computers are not hard. Computer science is hard (I majored it it) but using them is not.[/quote]

It is for young kids who don't use them much. Yes, some kids get a lot of screen time, others don't. We don't actually limit our kids' screen time. They have access to an ipad and kindle fire and a laptop, but they don't choose to play games on them. So their only computer use is at school.[/quote]
