[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When would this start? Also what happens if you have already passed the needed SOL and are not required to take more?[/quote]

Next year. And even if the kids already have a verified credit they will still have to take them apparently. Totally ridiculous. All the changes are summarized on the FCPS website.

Right, that's ridiculous! Risking making your grade go down to take an SOL you don't even need to graduate. Completely pointless. [/quote]

The State wants kids who will pass and pass advanced taking SOLs so that their scores look higher because everyone is taking them, not just the kids who have failed past ones and need to pass one at some point in time to graduate. If they made SOLs mandatory, parents of kids who have already passed them might just let their kid stay home and not take them or tell their kid not to care about them, deflating scores. This might very well be a desperate attempt to show the HS are doing better because scores will increase with kids taking SOLs that don't need them for graduation. [/quote]

Is it anticipated SOLs will be added for AP classes?[/quote]
