[quote=Anonymous]It could be because the SOLs are not actually related to anything kids are graded on. They aren't made by the teacher and the teachers don't even know what will be on them, plus they come at the end of the year, so there is no way for a teacher to do anything about a failing sol score because it's too late by the time they find out (if they ever find out). He could indeed be on grade level and still not passing the sol test - could be stamina, persistence, maybe just not caring (that happens a LOT), or just not being familiar with the test format (maybe the teachers aren't doing a lot of test prep - a good thing, not a bad thing). Ask about how he is determined to be on grade level and look at the books he is reading. SOL's are not really very useful measures.[/quote]
