[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of my kids few, precious days of instruction this year are going to be wasted taking SOLs? [/quote]

None if you opt them out [/quote]

They still won't get instruction because the teacher will be sitting around while the rest of the class takes the test. [/quote]

That wasn’t the question though. She asked about her kid taking the test. She can opt out. I am a teacher and opted my kids out. We can all agree these tests are bad and shouldn’t be happening but the federal DOE has said they are so whining in this message board or blaming FCPS is a waste of your time. You have agency to opt out and should if you feel the tests are wrong. Beyond that we can’t do anything about it [/quote]

NP here- the PP did want to know how many days would be wasted taking SOLs- yes, if their kid opts out, they won't be taking the test. However, their child would be redirected to do anything during testing days so it IS wasted days of instruction since they would get none. Also need to include wasted days of instruction the days/weeks leading up to it teaching to the SOL..[/quote]

Ok well. What do you want? She doesn’t have to take the test. The federal government said they have to happen.yes it sucks. For teachers and kids. But there’s no getting around it. Opt them out .  That’s all you can do. [/quote]
