[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you insisting that it's against the law for the SOL test score to impact class placement, you are frankly unbelievably naive. Kids that fail the SOL are well-known and thoroughly tracked by the admin. The ones "on the bubble" are in for even more scrutiny, because the schools figure they have a better chance of getting that kid to pass next year than the kid who failed abysmally. Your kid's school day will be impacted.

Continue to advocate for less standardized testing, and improved evaluation methods by all means, but in the meantime, sign the form![/quote]

You are the naive one and seem to have an agenda.  My DC is in aap and did not pass math SOL. DC is 2E and a great student, but due to an issue, does not do well on long tests. The school cannot place DC in nonAAP math without my permission. They suggested moving DC out and I said no. I know my rights, and I know the law. I suggest educating yourself. Check out Wrights Law for a lot of info. It's a good starting point.

AAP goes out the window for math in MS.   He will be in 7th Honors unless he can get a Pass Advanced on the7th grade SOL and a 91 percentile or higher on the Iowa Algebra readiness test.  Both are considered advanced math.  Then, there are SOL tests that are required for HS graduation.  I am not sure how you get around those.  If you know what part of IDEA (or other legislation) allows for a standard or advanced diploma without meeting the stated requirements, please let post.  I am interested.  [/quote]
