[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all for the advice. This is 8th grade science. Kid just told me that the sub did not teach/grade much in the past two months, and they will have SOL in two months. At this moment, it may be too late to group parents, get PTA, and find a good sub, so here is my plan:

1. borrow the SOL review packets from my kid.
2. check what materials are covered, so I can get a ballpark for it.
3. find a tutor.  [/quote]

Don't do this OP.  If you are going to spend your time and money worrying about a subject, hire a writing tutor or something else that will actually lead to real learning. 8th grade science is not the place to stress or cram for the love of God. [/quote]

So FCPS is wasting students' time and taxpayer money on a subject that is useless for the intellectual development and knowledge base of the child.  Just a random collection of unimportant crapola that they need to be tested on because-- tests are the point, not learning.

What a quality school system.

It’s not FCPS. Standards are a state wide mandate.[/quote]

Yep. And you can thank No Child Left Behind for it all, which was introduced under Bush I believe. Republicans started it all.[/quote]No. It was from the Common Core Standards of 2010. [/quote]

How does Common Core affect anything happening in FCPS? Virginia doesn't use Common Core and never has. I hope that you already know this if you're spouting off on an FCPS discussion thread.[/quote]
