[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child will be pulled out to retake a test he has already taken.  [b]Why put your child in the position of having all his friends know he failed the first time and so has to retake[/b]. [/quote]

My DD was in an [b]after school "remediation"[/b] class for weeks prior to the SOLs. Apparently, they did some kind of assessment and were concerned she might not pass. Was I supposed to turn it down because her friends might find out and she'd feel humiliated by it? Heck no. All her friends were in the same class. She had a great time.

And if she still doesn't pass the SOL and they want her to re-test, they have my blessing. We've always told our kids that the SOLs are a reflection on the school's teaching methods rather than the students' ability. It's all smoke and mirrors.[/quote]

Was this in an elementary school? We don't have anything like that.[/quote]

My DC also had this remediation prior to the SOLs, but it was in the mornings, before school.  Even with that, DC said the teacher talked on the phone half the time, or had trouble with her computer and just handed them worksheets.  No real, hardcore instruction.  I was very angry that I had gotten DC up early for weeks to attend these classes - and I'm pretty sure DC failed the SOLs nonetheless.  So much for remediation.  [/quote]
