[quote]The point of studying for weeks at a time for the SOLs is to boost the school and teachers rankings.[b] Teachers now spend hours and days teaching to the test instead of engaging in general learning.[/b] Giving students the actual writing prompts to the reading SOL in advance of the test and then spending hours of class time practicing as many of them as possible is an exercise in score boosting not learning. Regarding AAP test prep, pot meet kettle.[/quote]

This is great: [b]The Superintendent, the schools and the teachers can "system prep" to boost rankings and make the cut, but students are not allowed to prep to booast their rankings and make the cut (e.g., AAP). Where is Ms Carol Horn? Aren't these rankings therefore fake and gained immorally and unethically?[/b] Where can students go to report the teachers doing this so there will be repercussions? The students need a union (like the teachers) to protect their interests. Afterall, it's their family taxes paying for all this foolishness. [/quote]

Oh, come, on you are being unfair.  The hours and days of SOL test prep done at school is for the students.  The students!  It solely for the students benefit and has nothing to do with making the teachers and school look better.[/quote]
