[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Failing an SOL doesn't necessarily get you more services or remediation.  I think passing a retake can help a kid's confidence.  Can you imagine failing at a school with 90% pass rates? That must feel awful for a kid.  [/quote]

Yes it does mean your child gets remediation. The school is [b]required[/b] to provide it for every child who fails.[/quote]

The required minimum is one hour.[/quote]

I am expecting that my 6th grader will fail his Math 7 SOL.  Fairly or unfairly, I blame his teacher.  (My mom is a teacher, so I don't say those words lightly.  And she agrees with me.)  I have two questions.

(1) In light of the fact that I blame his teacher (and by extension the school -- meaning I care NOT AT ALL if his teacher or the school looks bad), should I allow him to retake the test if a retake is offered?  He has no anxiety issues, but he may be embarrassed if his friends find out he failed the SOL.

(2) What kind of remediation will he receive, given that he was already in an advanced class?  We're in APS, if it matters.[/quote]
